An Illinois landlord’s notice to enter tells a tenant of an occupied dwelling that a landlord will be entering the property. State law in Illinois does not specify the purposes for which a landlord may enter a tenant’s property, or how much notice must be given to do so. It also does not indicate conditions in which a landlord may enter a property without a tenant’s permission.
As a result, Illinois landlords should make all of these things explicit in their rental agreements. When necessary, the notice to enter should be provided in the manner described in the rental agreement.
