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.

ACCESS:
(A) The
tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the landlord
to enter the dwelling unit in order to inspect the premises,
make necessary or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations or
improvements, supply necessary or agreed services or show the
dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees,
tenants or workmen.
(B) The
landlord may enter the dwelling unit without consent of the
tenant in case of emergency.
(C) The
landlord shall not abuse the right of access or use it to harass
the tenant. Except in cases of emergency, or unless it is
impracticable to do so, the landlord shall give the tenant at
least two (2) days' notice of his intent to enter and may enter
only at reasonable times. (Ord. 19-0-75)

NOTE |

| |
Landlords are not allowed to have real estate agents
showing the renter's unit without the renter
being given at least two days' advance notice. If
the landlord does make an unlawful entry the
tenant is entitled to two months' rent damages plus
costs and attorney fees under
Section 8-2.
