Helping Waukegan Landlords Evict the Correct Way

In Illinois, eviction of a tenant is not merely asking the tenant to leave. There are certain notice and court procedures landlords must follow depending on the reason for the eviction. For example, if you don’t pay rent, you’re usually entitled to a written notice giving you five days or more to make your payment before the landlord can start eviction proceedings. Some lease violations may have a 10-day notice. Delays can occur if there are mistakes with the notice, service, or court documents. O’Flaherty Law can help landlords take the right steps to get possession back, while minimizing the chance of costly procedural problems.

Fighting Eviction for Tenants in Waukegan

An eviction notice often doesn’t mean the tenant has to leave immediately. This usually means the landlord has to comply with a legal process for eviction and obtain a court order before they can enforce possession. Depending on the circumstances, tenants may also have defenses, such as problems with the landlord’s notice, the lease, rent payments or other facts of the case. Our lawyers can provide a review of the situation and explain the options available and represent tenants who want to fight an eviction or seek a practical resolution.

Landlord-Tenant Representation Focused on Solutions

Landlord-tenant cases can move fast, so it’s important to know your options early. O’Flaherty Law represents both property owners and tenants, providing our attorneys insight into the concerns that often drive both sides in a rental dispute. Whether it’s to take possession, fight an eviction, work out a problem with unpaid rent, deal with a lease violation or reach an agreement without long litigation, we work with clients to find a common-sense way forward.
