Chicago Residential Lease Contract

[Filip Petrevski]

Hey Chicago,

I am wondering what residential leases you all use. I purchased my first property within the city and have a vacancy in one unit. I am showing the property this weekend to potential tenants and wanted to make sure I use the best lease I can. Any other tips for a first time landlord in Chicago would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey @Filip Petrevski! I use the Chicago Residential lease issued by the Chicago Association of Realtors. It has all of the required documents that must be given to the tenant and is updated every year with any additional documents that must be given. I add additional rules and addendum's to it and everything was worked out well so far. @Brie Schmidt uploaded it to the File Place, you should be able to locate it there.
