Section
5-12-095 Tenants' Notification of Foreclosure Action
(a) Within seven (7) days of
being served a foreclosure
complaint, as defined in 735 ILCS 5/15-1504, an owner or landlord of a
premises that is the subject of the foreclosure complaint shall
disclose, in writing, to all tenants of the premises that a foreclosure
action has been filed against the owner or landlord. An owner or
landlord shall also disclose, in writing, the notice of foreclosure to
any other third party who has a consistent pattern and practice of
paying rent to the owner or landlord on behalf of a tenant.
Before
a tenant initially enters into a rental agreement for a dwelling unit,
the owner or landlord shall also disclose, in writing, that he is named
in a foreclosure complaint.
The written disclosure shall
include the court in which the foreclosure action is pending, the case
name, and case number and shall include the following language:
"This
is not a notice to vacate the premise. This notice does not mean
ownership of the building has changed. All tenants are still
responsible for payment of rent and other obligations under the rental
agreement. The owner or landlord is still responsible for their
obligations under the rental agreement. You shall receive additional
notice if there is a change in owner."
(b) If the
owner or landlord fails to comply with this section, the tenant may
terminate the rental agreement by written notice. The written notice
shall specify the date of termination no later than thirty (30) days
from the date of the written notice. In addition, if a tenant in a
civil legal proceeding against an owner or landlord establishes that a
violation of this section has occurred, he shall be entitled to recover
$200.00 in damages, in addition to any other damages or remedies that
the tenant may also be entitled.
