What Are a Landlord’s Legal Obligations to Tenants in Chicago?
Chicago landlords are held to a high standard when it comes to tenant safety. The Chicago Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance (RLTO) outlines specific obligations that property owners must meet, and Illinois premises liability law adds another layer of responsibility on top of that.
At a minimum, landlords are expected to:
- Keep common areas like hallways and stairwells in a safe condition
- Address known hazards within a reasonable timeframe after being notified
- Maintain working locks, lighting, and security features throughout the building
- Comply with local building codes and pass required inspections
- Make necessary repairs to structural issues that could endanger tenants or guests
You may be able to recover both economic damages (like medical bills) as well as non-economic damages (like pain and suffering) if your case is successful. Reach out to our legal team today for more information about what you should do next.
