IL HB4463

Lessor may terminate (instead of void) a lease if the lessor receives written notification from law enforcement that the premises were used for a felony or Class A misdemeanor.

Lessor or assignee may bring a forcible entry and detainer action to recover possession, with the option to assign this right to the State's Attorney or municipality corporation counsel.

When a lessor provides notice of termination under this Section for criminal activity, only 5 days' notice to quit is required instead of the standard 10 days.

Judgment for eviction may not be stayed for more than 7 days unless all parties agree, and the sheriff must execute the order within 7 days of entry or expiration of any stay.

Tenant security deposits cannot be forfeited solely due to eviction under this Section, except for sheriff fees related to executing the eviction.
