Chicago Move In Fee. What is everyone Charging

[Sean McKee]

Hello Everyone!

I’m closing on a 4 unit in Little Village next week. I have rentals in Cicero and always charge security deposits. However I’m leery to do so in Chicago. It seems too risky with the current laws.  I’m definitely leaning towards move in fees. I’d like to charge 300 to 375. Little Village might be a little less than that. However I definitely would prefer to charge as much as possible.

What do you charge? Or do you stick to security deposits?
