Illinois Eviction Protections
Illinois Eviction Protections | November 13, 2020
Executive Order 2020-72 protects renters from eviction if they are affected by COVID-19, are paying what they're able, and don't make over $99,000. See the Illinois FAQ page for up-to-date information. Tenants will still owe rent.
Evictions can only be enforced by Law Enforcement. However, the executive order halts said enforcement, unless the "resident of the residential property has been found to pose a direct threat to the health and safety of other tenants or an immediate and severe risk to property"
The protections are in effect regardless of immigration status. See Eviction Help illinois for legal assistance & mediation services.
