Landlord had to pay tenant $3000

I received a call last week from a landlord asking if he could "appeal" a judge's decision.  He was sued by his tenant and did not hire an attorney.  After I took down the facts, I realized this landlord made a number of mistakes.  The first mistake was that he "found" his lease on the internet.  He never thought to have an Attorney look at it.  The lease was full of mistakes that went against the Chicago Residential Landlord Tenant Ordinance.  The second big mistake was that he did not comply with the requirements for his tenant's security deposit.  He also made a number of other mistakes, none of which would be overturned on appeal.  The landlord simply did not comply with the law.  The sad thing is that he could have avoided all of this had he just consulted with my office first.  For only $175, my office will prepare the lease and all of the proper paperwork you need for the tenant.  Dont make the same mistake this landlord did - call Attorney Bradford Miller today at 312-238-9298.
