10 weeks! That is the estimate I have been receiving from the Sherrif's office as to how long it will take them to evict a tenant (once they receive the order of possession). This means that the whole process from start to finish can now easily take at least 4 months. Landlords - make sure you start the process as soon as possible. Call my office for a free 15 min phone consultation.

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.

Landlords are making these common mistakes
Posted by Bradford Miller Law, P.C., a law firm practicing in the areas of real estate, landlord tenant law, and estate planning. Contact Attorney Bradford Miller at 312-238-9298 for a free consultation.
More and more, I see Chicago landlords making costly mistakes. Here are the top three that I see.
1) Failure of a landlord to give a tenant a receipt. A landlord must give a receipt to a tenant upon receiving a security deposit. This receipt must follow the requirements set forth in 5-12-080(b) of the RLTO.
2) Failure of a landlord to pay a tenant yearly interest on their security deposit. Under the RLTO, a landlord must not only pay interest at the end of a 12 month lease period, but the landlord must do so within 30 days after the end of the 12 month period.
3) Failure of the landlord to return a tenants security deposit within 45 days after the tenant vacates the apartment. See 5-12-080(d) of the RLTO.
The entire RLTO is on my website, http://www.bradfordmillerlaw.com/. Consult an Attorney before acting on any advice given here.
