What you need to know

Practical guidance — not filler. Written for landlords and tenants who need this document done right.

What this document is

A signed addendum that authorizes a specific pet, documents fees, and sets damage and behavior rules on an Illinois lease.

When to use it

Before allowing any pet — including emotional support animals handled under separate fair-housing rules.

Why it matters

Illinois caps total security deposits. Pet fees must fit within applicable limits and be clearly disclosed.

Common mistakes

  • Pet permission by text without signed addendum
  • Non-refundable “deposit” labels that courts treat as deposits
  • Breed bans applied to assistance animals
State-specific note: Chicago and Cook County may impose additional rental rules — verify local ordinances for your property.
