Rent control rules in Downers Grove, IL — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Illinois prohibits any unit of local government from enacting, maintaining, or enforcing rent control ordinances on private residential or commercial property.
The Rent Control Preemption Act (50 ILCS 825) declares that no county, municipality, or other unit of local government may enact, maintain, or enforce an ordinance or resolution that controls rent on private residential or commercial property. The Act expressly preempts the home rule powers of municipalities under Article VII of the Illinois Constitution. It applies uniformly throughout Illinois unless repealed by the General Assembly.
Local rent control ordinances are void and unenforceable as a matter of law; landlords may seek injunctive relief and attorney fees in circuit court.
