The article discusses the landlord's warranty of habitability, which requires a landlord to keep the property maintained in conditions that are livable.  If the landlord breached this implied warranty of habitability, the tenant can remedy the situation in several potential ways, including, suing for damages, terminating the lease, or reducing rent.  

We also talk about how landlords cannot evict tenants without good cause and what qualifies as "good cause" in Downers Grove, and how tenants have exclusive rights to possession of the apartment during the term of their lease.

In this article, our Downers Grove lease attorneys explain the process of having your lease reviewed or drafted by one of our attorneys.  

In reviewing your lease, we first prepare a short bullet point opinion letter explaining what you should be aware of any items of your lease you may want to renegotiate.  Next, after discussing our opinion letter with you, we will work with you to determine what clauses and terms in your lease you would like revised.  At this point, you can either offer our opinion letter to the other party and indicate which revisions you are requesting or have our Downers Grove lease attorneys draft the revisions directly into your lease and provide a new, revised lease to the other party.  Then, the revised lease will be reviewed by the other party.  The attorneys for each tenant and landlord will work with each other and their clients to determine a lease that is agreeable to all parties involved.
