Intricacies of the Chicago Landlord Tenant Ordinance Subject of Interview

I was recently interviewed in the Cook County Record regarding the Chicago Residential Landlord Tenant Ordinance and the difficulties faced by landlords trying to comply with its requirements.  Readers of this blog will not find all that much new from me.  I think the ordinance is harsh.  I think the ordinance is full of language that should be more specific.  I think that “part time”, “forced into this by the market”, or “reluctant” landlords should not be playing the game and would be better off selling their property.   The current state of the law in Chicago is that only the most serious landlords should be in the game in this city.
