Full Conversation

My landlord found out my apartment is not in my name and now are seeking possession of apartment in Illinois how long do I have to move
Hi Yalonda, in Illinois:
- Landlords must provide a minimum of 5 days notice for non-payment of rent.
- For lease violations, typically a *-day notice is required.
- It's important to review your lease agreement as it may have specifics.
Please consider legal advice for your situation.
I was never served papers
Under Illinois law, landlords are required to provide written notice of eviction. If you haven't received such a notice, it's essential to inform your landlord and possibly seek legal help. For legal advice, you may want to contact a local attorney or legal aid service.
Does text message count
In Illinois, an eviction notice must be delivered in person, by certified or registered mail, or by leaving the notice with someone of suitable age and discretion at your residence. A text message generally does not meet these requirements.
Can you get put out in winter in Illinois
In Illinois, landlords can evict tenants during winter. However, they must follow proper legal procedures including notice periods and court orders. Evictions can't happen on public holidays or Sundays. Legal advice is recommended.
So how long after order is put in to sheriff they give me time to move in Illinois
In Illinois, after a court order is issued, the sheriff must give at least 7 days notice before executing an eviction. However, this can vary, so it's recommended to seek local legal advice.
Do they evict without going to court
In Illinois, landlords cannot evict tenants without a court order. It's called a "self-help" eviction and it's illegal. Landlords must follow the legal eviction process which includes serving notice and getting a court order.
So maybe I’ll have at least a week or *
Yes, Yalonda. If a court order has been issued and given to the sheriff, you should have at least 7 days to vacate. It's essential to consult with a local attorney or legal aid service to understand your rights and options better.
Hello I have another question
Of course, Yalonda. Please feel free to ask your question. I'm here to help.
Does this still apply even if my name is not on lease but I resided there
In Illinois:
- If you've been living at a property without a lease, you're considered a "tenant at will."
- Eviction laws still apply to you.
- Proper notice and a court order are required for eviction, regardless of lease status.
Please seek local legal help for more specific guidance.
