What Illinois law says

Lease Agreements

Chicago's Residential Landlord Tenant Ordinance (RLTO) adds extra protections within city limits, including mandatory security deposit interest in buildings with 6+ units.

Eviction Notices

Illinois requires a 5-day notice for non-payment of rent in Chicago (10-day notice for lease violations statewide) before an eviction case can be filed.

Signing & Records

The Illinois Electronic Commerce Security Act gives electronic signatures the same legal standing as handwritten ones for leases, NDAs, and most business contracts.

Laws change frequently, so always consult a licensed local attorney before executing a legal document.
