Tenant Lease Renewal Rights

Summary

Landlords in Highland, Illinois, must provide a habitable property and cannot increase rent during an ongoing lease term. They must give at least 30 days notice before increasing rent at the end of a lease. Tenants are not obliged to sign a new lease before the current one ends. For month-to-month tenants, landlords can increase rent with 30 days notice. If the increase seems discriminatory, tenants can contact the Illinois Department of Human Rights. For disputes, legal counsel or local tenant rights groups can provide assistance.
