 My property is located in Hermosa on 4200 w Fullerton. Tenants are currently paying full I'm just getting a bit ahead of myself if worst comes to worst I'd like to have a plan. My first approach would be cash for keys and if that didnt work I'd probably start consulting with eviction lawyers to see what I can do.

 Thank you so much Mark will definitely look into it if it comes to an eviction so far all my tenants are paying in full. I'm just planning ahead in case it does come down to that.

So I'm looking into the eviction moratorium for Chicago and from my understanding a landlord can still technically evict tenants if the tenant does not contact the landlord to claim Covid-19 impact with in 5 days of receiving the eviction notice. Do they need proof that they've been affected? If they fail to respond within the 5 days does that mean the landlord can proceed with the eviction like normal? Has anyone gone through an eviction with the mortartium in place? Thank you guys.

Thank you Simon. I don't think it's a deal breaker I'm thinking I'll have the tenant pay half of it.

So I just acquired my first property in the Hermosa neighborhood of Chicago. It's a commerical space in the front of the property and legal 2 unit coach house in the back. I inherited tenants in all 3 units and according to the estoppel certificate and the lease it's stated that the commerical tenant is responsible for paying their own water/sewage. 

I contacted them today and he said he's never paid the water bill and the previous owner also told me that the tenant has never been responsible for the water bill.  The lease and estoppel certificate say otherwise. What are my options at this point should I just evict them? I've looked around and cant find any decisive information. Thank you
