By speaking directly to the landlord as soon as you'd like you extend. I suggest asking for a 14, 16, or 18 month lease up front, if you can. But asking near the end of the lease is an option as well. There's no guarantee the landlord will go for this though.
Landlords can only raise the rent every 12 months and must give 90 days of notice. The increase can't be more than 15% of the current rent. If the unit is vacant and the landlord puts the rental property back on the market, they still must adhere to the same rules.
Your landlord cannot make you move by turning off your utilities. Also, your landlord may not evict you by locking you out, changing the locks or removing your personal property from the rental unit.
Any lease for less than 12 months is considered short-term. You can find short-term apartment leases for three months, six months, nine months or even month-to-month. Monthly leases generally renew automatically each month as long as you and your landlord both agree.
Ing to state law, landlords in Illinois must provide tenants on month-to-month leases with at least 30 days written notice to vacate the rental unit. Otherwise, the tenant is guaranteed another 60 days on the premises. Note that this applies for tenancies of less than six months.
Starting January 1, 2025, Illinois will introduce the Landlord Retaliation Act, a new law designed to protect tenants from landlord retaliatory actions. This law will significantly impact Chicago landlords and property managers, who must stay updated on the latest changes in Illinois landlord laws.
Short-term leases, from three to six months, give tenants the flexibility they need. They are great for moving for work or other big changes.
