Illinois Eviction Notice

Illinois’ 5-day rent notice is the usual statewide first step. Chicago and other home-rule cities add extra notices and just-cause rules. This generator builds a written Illinois eviction notice (pay-or-quit, cure-or-quit, end-of-term, or unconditional quit) around those deadlines. It is not a court summons, and it is not permission to change the locks.

• Nonpayment notices are often 5 days.
• A 10-day notice is typical for a lease violation (735 ILCS 5/9-210). Chicago’s RLTO can change this.
• Chicago’s RLTO and some other cities require a listed reason to terminate many tenancies.
