For material lease violations in Illinois, landlords serve a 10-day notice to comply or vacate under 735 ILCS 5/9-210. The tenant has 10 days to fix the violation or surrender the premises.
Chicago properties subject to the RLTO require the notice to include specific disclosures about tenant rights. The 10-day period is standard under state law, but Chicago courts apply heightened scrutiny to notice content.
For severe violations — criminal activity, substantial property damage, endangering other residents — Illinois permits an unconditional notice to vacate with a shorter period depending on lease terms.
