Illinois Rent Increase Notice Requirements
Illinois landlords must provide proper written notice before increasing rent. The required notice period depends on your location and, in Chicago, the length of tenancy.
| Location | Tenancy Length | Required Notice |
|---|---|---|
| Illinois (State Law) | Month-to-Month | 30 days |
| Chicago (RLTO) | Less than 6 months | 30 days |
| Chicago (RLTO) | 6 months to 3 years | 60 days |
| Chicago (RLTO) | Over 3 years | 120 days |
| Cook County (RTLO) | All tenancies | 60 days |
