Just cause eviction rules in Plano, IL — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
The Illinois Eviction Act sets the exclusive procedure landlords must follow to recover residential possession, including notice periods and court process applicable statewide.
Article IX of the Code of Civil Procedure (735 ILCS 5/9) governs evictions. Landlords must serve a 5-day notice for nonpayment, 10-day notice for lease violations, or 30/60/90-day notice for terminating month-to-month or longer tenancies depending on tenancy length. Self-help eviction is barred by 735 ILCS 5/9-101 et seq.; only the sheriff may execute an order of possession. Local just-cause ordinances may add protections but cannot reduce these statewide minimums.
Illegal lockouts are Class C misdemeanors and may also subject landlords to civil damages, including actual damages and attorney fees.
