Business and Landlord Leasing Attorneys Serving Clients in Kane County

Being a landlord can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging. When a property owner or developer builds a corporate space, updates a multi-unit apartment complex, or takes over a condominium development, they will need to meet certain legal requirements and address issues related to tenants. No matter the circumstances of landlord-tenant or corporate leasing arrangements, legal representation can be crucial for a landlord, ensuring that they will be able to maintain good relationships with tenants and avoid potential legal complications.

When issues arise, the commercial real estate attorneys of Ariano Hardy Ritt Richmond Lytle & Goettel P.C. can help property owners and landlords address each matter head-on. Drawing on many years of experience, our knowledgeable lawyers serve as trusted allies for corporate and landlord leasing clients. We can assist with drafting and reviewing lease agreements, dealing with the legal aspects of lease terminations and tenant evictions, and handling other concerns that may arise.

What Makes a Good Commercial Lease Agreement?

Our lawyers work with clients to create solid leases that will meet their needs. Leases are legally-binding agreements between parties for the occupancy of a property in exchange for payment, typically in the form of rent. These agreements should contain the date the agreement began, the expected end date, and due dates for agreed-upon monthly payments. Some elements of a well-planned lease agreement may also include:

• A description of the property, including square footage
• Renewal options
• Security deposit information
• Occupancy, subletting, and use restrictions
• Right of landlord entry
• Modification rights and restrictions
• Grounds for lease termination

Having a proper lease agreement in place will not only protect the rights of the lessor, but it will also make sure that the rights of lessees are not violated. Our attorneys can help clients create lease agreements that will clearly define the relationships between landlords and tenants.

The Eviction Process in Landlord-Tenant Matters in South Elgin, IL

There are times when lessees must be evicted from properties. Some common reasons for eviction include failure to pay rent on time, property damage, failure to vacate the premises after the termination of a lease, or violating any of the terms of the lease.

To evict a tenant, a landlord must follow procedures set forth by state statutes. Failure to follow the Illinois eviction statutes may result in daily fines and the inability to evict a delinquent tenant. Our corporate and landlord leasing lawyers can help landlords follow the correct procedures and avoid violations. Typically, the eviction timeline includes:

• Issuing a written notice to the tenant of the lease violation, whether it involves non-payment of rent or other violations
• Allowing the tenant the time specified in the document to correct the violation (i.e., by paying past due rent in full)
• Filing an eviction complaint in court if the violation was not corrected
• Presenting a case in court in order to receive an order to evict
• Filing the eviction order with the county sheriff to remove a tenant who will not leave the property voluntarily

If a tenant chooses to fight the eviction process, we can help a landlord understand how to protect their rights as a lessor. It is important to follow the state-approved eviction process and avoid any actions that may provide a tenant with a defense against eviction. We can provide the representation needed during this process, ensuring that the correct steps are taken during every phase of an eviction.
