Anyone have a good reference for a tenants rights lawyer in Chicago that charges reasonable fees? My landlord just wants to sell the property without a tenant in it and is looking for reasons to evict me. But I think my lease is rock solid. Do I even need an attorney in that case?

If this is a big landlord sure. But if this is normal person just renting out their old condo and is giving you reasonable notice, you’re just being annoying

My mind didn’t even consider that. If it’s a regular Joe, just move out (:

Generally speaking, I don’t think you do. IL has strong tenant protection laws and your landlord cannot arbitrarily evict you if you have a valid lease, pay the rent on time, and have no rental violations. Nothing is black and white tho. I know there’s a rental rights hotline which provides free initial consultation. May wanna look into that before spending on an attorney

They’re selling to a large company who wants to double rents, I suspect he is getting some incentive if they have empty units to be able to jack up rents. But my least goes through 2026 so I’d like to stay at my current rate.
