Illinois Month-to-Month Rental Agreement

An Illinois Month-To-Month Rental Agreement is a legal contract that authorizes a tenant to rent a property without committing to a fixed lease term. This kind of agreement is flexible for both tenants and landlords.

The tenant pays a monthly rent payment, along with other utilities, and either the landlord or tenant can amend or terminate the agreement with thirty days’ notice.

Illinois Month-to-Month Eviction

A landlord has the right to evict a tenant for reasons other than failure to pay rent or breach of the lease terms. Specifically, for tenants on a month-to-month lease, state law requires that landlords provide a 30-day written notice informing the tenant that they have 30 days to vacate the premises. Should the tenant not vacate within that 30-day timeframe, the landlord is then legally permitted to begin eviction proceedings.

The Illinois Eviction Process details the steps for evicting a tenant.
