The Chicago Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance (RLTO) is a local law. It outlines specific rights and responsibilities for both tenants and landlords in most Chicago residential rentals.
In Chicago, a landlord must keep your security deposit in a separate, interest-bearing account. They must also provide an itemized statement of deductions within 30 days of you moving out.
No, a landlord cannot evict you without proper legal notice. They must follow specific legal procedures, which usually start with a written notice and a court case.
