HB2483 Summary

• Amends Illinois Code of Civil Procedure Section 15-1701 to require notice to tenants and subtenant before foreclosure-related eviction actions can be filed.

• Requires a mortgagee-in-possession, receiver, certificate of sale holder, or purchaser to provide 90 days' written notice identifying the tenant/subtenant and premises before filing a forcible entry and detainer action.

• Notice must be served on the tenant/subtenant and the county housing authority, or if no county housing authority exists, on the county clerk.

• Protects tenants who are current on rent or made good-faith payment efforts by allowing them to remain in possession for 120 days after hearing notice or through their lease duration, whichever is shorter.

• Seals court records from supplemental possession petitions or forcible detainer actions involving protected tenants, making them unavailable to the public except to law enforcement and government representatives.
