The
Evanston Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance
(ERLTO) predates the
Chicago RLTO. The Evanston RLTO does
share some features of the Chicago RLTO, and also contains the
state's only 21-day security deposit return and accounting rule.
This is the timeline Wisconsin residents are used to. The
ERLTO also requires landlords to account in writing even for
rent they are withholding from the security deposit of a
tenant. This is not required statewide.
Evanston
renters of a duplex, townhouse, apartment, condo, or single
family home may email attorney
Silverman
for a free initial review of their
Evanston landlord - tenant situation and rights.
