Champaign County Landlord Tenant Dispute Attorneys

Our Champaign County landlord-tenant attorneys discuss the time needed to give a tenant to move out in Illinois. In Illinois, if there is no lease or if the lease does not specify a move out date, the Landlord must give at least 30 days of notice to a tenant that the landlord wants to move out. This notice must be in writing and must arrive to the tenant at least 30 days prior to their move out date. The written notice must also include a specific move out date for when the tenant must be out of the property and their tenancy has ended.

In this video our Champaign County landlord-tenant attorneys explain what happens if you are being overcharged by a landlord for maintenance and what you can do to correct it. In many commercial leases, tenants are required to pay a share of taxes, utilities, and common area maintenance charges ("CAM").  The tenant's share will typically be proportional to the amount of space leased by the tenant relative to the total rentable space of the building.  This "additional rent" will fluctuate from year to year. It is not uncommon for landlords to overcharge tenants for CAM. If the tenant believes this is occurring, their best option is to audit the Landlord's expenses to ensure that all of the CAM paid by tenants is going toward actual expenses and that those expenses are for vendors at market value, rather than inflated prices.
