UPDATE: A new version of 5-12-130(j) has passed the City Council. This article is no longer timely. As Chicago landlord-tenant attorneys, one situation that we frequently run into is when a Chicago landlord is forced to serve a sixty (60) day notice to terminate tenancy instead of a thirty (30) day notice. This situation arises when the CRLTO applies and the tenant’s lease term has expired without the landlord serving a proper notice of intent not to renew. Many Chicago landlord’s incorrectly believe that once a lease term expires, that is the end of the tenancy. This is not so.
