Evanston Tenant Rights

Evanston has its own rental ordinance. Lease and deposit questions need a local-law review.

Who’s covered

Most Evanston residential rentals, with exceptions that depend on the property and tenancy. Chicago and Cook County, Illinois rules should not be assumed to apply.

Common concerns

  • Deposit returns
  • Repairs & habitability
  • Required disclosures
  • Renewal & termination
