What you need to know
What it is
An Illinois Room Rental Agreement for a rental property. Landlord-tenant law in the state where the property sits (deposits, notice periods, required disclosures) applies to it, so check those rules for your situation before you sign.
When to use it
Use this when the rental property sits in the state shown — not where the landlord or tenant lives.
Why it matters
Generic templates from other states often miss required disclosures or use unenforceable notice periods.
Common mistakes
- Using a template from the wrong state
- Skipping required disclosures before move-in
- Wrong notice period for rent increases or termination
Illinois security deposit rule for a residential tenancy: limit: No statutory limit; return deadline: 45 days; a second deadline applies to deductions. No statewide deposit limit. To keep any of the deposit for damage, the landlord must send an itemized statement with paid receipts within 30 days after the tenant moves out (or after the right of possession ends, if later); otherwise the full deposit is due within 45 days (765 ILCS 710/1). Since January 1, 2024 this applies to every residential landlord, whatever the number of units. Interest is owed only where the property has 25 or more units and the deposit is held more than 6 months (765 ILCS 715/1). Local ordinances can add rules.
