Tenants – You Do Have Rights


If you rent an apartment, condominium or house in the City of Chicago, the Chicago Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance offers you protection from unfair or deceptive landlord practices. You don’t have to feel helpless when disputes with your landlord are causing you great distress, as the laws dictate that landlords have specific responsibilities. If you have valid claims against your landlord, we provide a free case evaluation and do not take a fee unless you recover money damages.


Please review the information we have provided on this website and fill out the free case evaluation form, or call our office today at 312-578-9428 for a free consultation.
