Suburban Cook County RTLO recognizes no-fault eviction grounds including owner move-in, demolition, and substantial rehabilitation, all requiring extended written notice and compliance with the Illinois Forcible Entry and Detainer Act court process.
The Cook County RTLO (Ch. 42, art VII) lists permitted no-fault grounds: owner or immediate family move-in, demolition, substantial rehabilitation requiring tenant absence, conversion to non-residential use, and condominium conversion. Each requires good-faith intent and written notice from 60 to 120 days depending on tenancy length. Even after notice expires, the landlord must file under the Illinois Forcible Entry and Detainer Act (735 ILCS 5/9) and obtain a court order. Self-help eviction is prohibited. RTLO authorizes tenant defenses if the stated ground is pretextual or if the landlord fails to occupy or rehabilitate.
Pretextual no-fault notice, failure to honor the stated purpose, or self-help lockout exposes landlords to two months rent damages, restoration of possession, and attorney fees under RTLO.
