§ 05-12-110, Tenant Remedies

 

Terminating the lease is not the same as vacating the premises. 

 

Plambeck v.Greystone Management, 281 Ill. App. 3d 260, 271 (1st Dist. 1996).

 

Terminating the lease is a distinct act from vacating the premises.  Just because a tenant vacates the premises, it does not mean that tenant failed to give full 14 days to cure.

When Does a Tenant Withhold or Deduct Rent Under § 110(d)? 

When Can a Tenant Withhold or Deduct Rent Under § 110(d)? 

 

American National Bank v.Powell, 293 Ill. App. 3d 1033, 1038-40; 691 N.E.2d 1162, 1165-6 (1st Dist. 1997). 

 

A tenant withholds or deducts rent under the RLTO when the landlord receives partial payment, not when the tenant mails, posts, or sends partial payment.  But a tenant cannot deduct rent under the RLTO until the landlord has received written notice of the tenant’s intent to deduct rent, and has had a full 14 day opportunity during which to make requested repairs.
