Landlord's Ability to Terminate Lease

Derek Venhuizen
  • Chicago, IL
Posted

Can a Chicago landlord terminate a lease at any time (i.e. no issues / paying on time etc) with written notice prior to the end of the term?  How many days written notice to tenants is required?

Background:  I have a 1 year term rental agreement in place. I am currently living overseas but plan to relocate back to my house in 6 months and may like to move back in.  Legally, (excluding any oral discussions with tenant) do I have the right to cancel the lease? I know Rahm Emmanuel (current mayor of chicago) ran into this issue where he had to cancel his property which was leased and was successfully able to do so but not without a bit of backlash. 

Thanks in advance for any thoughts / advice.
