My property is in Chicago, Illinois. Tenant’s lease expired November 30, 2018. Lease was not renewed. Tenants have not moved nor have they paid December’s rent. How do I evict?
Thank you,
Jim

You need to evict them for non payment of rent. The fact that the lease expired is a non issue. The issue at had is that they didn't pay Dec rent. Contact an attorney & get it handled. You never want to attempt to do an eviction, especially your 1st eviction without an attorney. I've done 100's of evictions & have never & will never attempt to do one without an attorney. There are some things that you can save money doing on your own. This isn't one of them.
