(You need to send them a 60 day notification prior to the lease ending and notify them that you will be increasing the rent x amount of dollars.

I get an email notification that the deposit was made, and I can update my account ledger from my beach house in Tahiti (tongue planted firmly in cheek).  

I'm actually contacting the county, today, to see if I have that "lot split" play, or not.

7) Don't try too hard to be something you are not.

Outside of fetching some beer from the garage fridge, nobody uses it (we have a camera in there to monitor trash pick up and we never get notifications of anyone in the garage) 

In most circumstances, landlord-tenant law requires you to honor the existing leases and to follow the landlord tenant law on notification timelines if you decide to terminate the leases or increase rents.  

I received notifications for each one.  

Why don't you tell us what that 70K property will rent for, and then we tell you whether that would be considered good or not?

Sounds like a Victorian home so might be in a historically district in which case you’ll need the contractor to know how to pull a COA with the IHPC in addition to a notification with the permit office.

I'm not sure if we can increase the rate that we previously gave the tenant due to Chicago rent increase notification laws.
