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

Evanston landlord - tenant situation and rights.

RULES AND REGULATIONS:
(A) The
landlord, from time to time, may adopt general rules or
regulations concerning the tenant's use and occupancy of the
premises. They are enforceable only if in writing and:
1. Their
purpose is to promote the convenience, safety and welfare of the
tenants in the premises, preserve the landlord's property from
abusive use or make a fair distribution of services and
facilities among tenants;
2. They are
reasonably related to the purpose for which they are adopted;
3. They apply
to all tenants in the premises in a fair manner;
4. They are
sufficiently explicit to fairly inform the tenant of what he
must or must not do to comply;
5. They are
not for the purpose of evading the obligations of the landlord;
and
6. The tenant
has notice of them at the time he enters into the rental
agreement.
(B) A
rule or regulation adopted after the tenant enters into the
rental agreement that substantially modifies his bargain is not
enforceable unless the tenant consents to it in writing. (Ord.
19-0-75) |
