Where to find Illionois Landlord Tenant Laws?

[Felix Sot]

Hello All,

I have a property inside McHenry County in Illinois. Ive been trying to find my Landlord-Tenant agreement/laws. Ive done some googling and the document(s) Ive found have been skim and no help at all. Ive also called my town's and county's office and asked around several times but nobody knows what Im talking about.

Links Ive found:

Fair housing: (even called the phone number on the site)

https://www.co.mchenry.il.us/county-government/dep...

Landlord-tenant act (this has barely any info)

http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?Act...

Anybody out there able to tell me where to find this mythical document everyone seems to be talking about? Id prefer not to go ask a lawyer and just find the document myself.

Im hoping the document will answer things like:

At what temperature do I need to keep the house at during winter?

Do I have to provide tenants their own garbage cans?

How much can I charge for a deposit/application fee?

How fast do I need to have issues fixed? (obviously asap, but I want to know the legal definition)

etc etc etc...

Any help will be appreciated, thank you!

My apologies I just noticed the spelling error in the title. Of course, the forum doesnt allow me to edit. My apologies!

NOLO is a good start for any state. They also have a great book that I highly recommend as the best single source for new Landlords, Every Landlord's Legal Guide

The Attorney General provides guidance
