 Our motto is:
"Tenants' rights before property rights."
We
are an advocacy organization for residential
renters.
Chicago Tenant Rights -
We serve those who rent in apartment buildings,
condos, or houses in the City of Chicago, Cook
County, or elsewhere in the suburban metropolitan
area.
Whether the tenant has a problem with a landlord who
does not make repairs or has been served a summons
to go to court, tenants need to know their legal
rights.
Residents of Chicago and Evanston are governed by a
Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance (RLTO) and
residents of Mount Prospect by the Residential
Landlord and Tenant Regulations. Tenants living
anywhere else are governed only by state law. You do
not need to be a lawyer to read the law, but you do
need someone experienced to help you exercise your
rights under the law.
 Besides advice, we provide four services to tenants:
Full time professionally trained staff assist
tenants when they call. Our executive director is a
licensed Illinois attorney and has been serving
tenants since 1980.
Please call us for a personal consultation at
(773) 478-1133.
Appointments with a tenant counselor are available
Monday through Saturday.
If you have any
questions or would like more information, or to discuss your
rights please contact us (773) 478-1133,
email us, or use our
online
request form. |
