Rent control rules in Peoria County, IL — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Rent control is illegal everywhere in Peoria County. The Illinois Rent Control Preemption Act (50 ILCS 825) bars every unit of local government — the county, home-rule Peoria, Chillicothe, and Bartonville — from capping rent, and it preempts home rule. Landlords set and raise rent at market.
Illinois has banned local rent control since 1997. 50 ILCS 825/5 says a unit of local government may not enact, maintain, or enforce any ordinance controlling the rent charged for private residential or commercial property, and it strips home-rule cities like Peoria of that power. So no Peoria County landlord faces a rent cap. A landlord sets the opening rent at market and raises it to any amount at renewal. Illinois has no statute limiting the size of an increase. A fixed-term lease governs its own term, and a month-to-month tenancy changes with the notice the lease or state law requires — typically 30 days.
No rent cap exists to violate. Any local ordinance regulating rent is preempted by 50 ILCS 825 and cannot be enforced against a Peoria County landlord.
