According to the Chicago Residential Landlord Tenant Ordinance (also known as the "RLTO") a landlord or any person authorized to enter into an oral or written rental agreement on the landlord's behalf is required to disclose to the tenant in writing at or before the commencement of the tenancy the name, address, and telephone number of:
(a) The owner or person authorized to manage the premises; and
(b) A person authorized to act for and on behalf of the owner for the purpose of service of process and for the purpose of receiving and receipting for notices and demands.
The information must be kept current and extends to and is enforceable against any successor landlord, owner, or manager. If the landlord fails to comply with this section, the tenant may terminate the rental agreement and after receipt of written notice, the tenant shall recover one month's rent or actual damages, whichever is greater.
