Rent control rules in Schaumburg, IL — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Schaumburg has no local rent control ordinance. Illinois state law preempts all local rent control measures, meaning landlords may set and increase rents without municipal caps.
The Illinois Rent Control Preemption Act (765 ILCS 735) prohibits any municipality in Illinois from enacting, maintaining, or enforcing rent control ordinances. This state preemption applies fully to Schaumburg. Landlords may set initial rents at any amount and increase rents by any amount with proper notice as required under the lease terms and Illinois landlord-tenant law. Tenants on month-to-month leases must receive at least 30 days' written notice of rent increases. There are no caps on the amount or frequency of increases. Schaumburg does not maintain a rental registry or require landlords to report rental rates. Disputes over rent increases are civil matters between landlord and tenant.
Not applicable — no rent control restrictions exist in Schaumburg under Illinois state preemption.
