Today’s location-specific episode features Illinois.  We explore the overview of the housing guiding document called Illinois Tenancy Act.  Each of my location-specific podcasts is set up the same way answering the same four questions: 

1) What are the basics of the Illinois Tenancy Act

2) What are the nuances of this location – what is different that stands out?

3) Some guidance about abandoned items left behind by a tenant in a rental inIllinois

4) Where to get help in your local area in Illinois.  Then I’ll go through what I call my “Bingo Card” of standard items I see most often in tenancy laws in different locations. 

This episode is NOT all inclusive – you must research further in your specific area including your County, Regional District, Parish, City or any other Governing Body that involves your rental location, but today’s episode will get you started!
