Unfortunately, today I received yet another lease used by a landlord that he got off the internet.  It did not follow the City of Chicago Landlord Tenant Ordinance.  It actually doesnt even look like it was written by an Attorney.  It was probably typed up by someone who thought they knew what they were doing.  And then unfortunately they put this piece of crap on the internet for other landlords to use.

Landlords - DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE.  Call my office!  One hour of my time is all it takes to help you with all of the proper documents which could save you thousands of dollars later.  Unfortunately for this landlord, the tenant is suing him and is likely going to receive a judgment for over $4,000.00 simply because he didnt follow the City of Chicago Landlord Tenant Ordinance with regard to the lease and security deposit.  I bet he wishes he called my office a lot earlier.
