Landlords please remember to follow the rules set forth in the Chicago Residential Landlord Tenant Ordinance if you require access to your property.
Under the ordinance, a landlord must provide a two day notice by mail, telephone, written notice or other means designed in good faith to provide notice. In return, the tenant shall permit reasonable access to the landlord.
In the event of an emergency or where repairs elsewhere unexpectedly require access, the landlord may enter the property immediately however, must prove notice within two days after entry. A general notice to all affected tenants may be given in the event repair work on common areas or other units may require such access.
