16	16	1 AN ACT concerning civil law.
17	17	2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
18	18	3 represented in the General Assembly:
19	19	4 Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Let
20	20	5 the People Lift the Ban Act.
21	21	6 Section 5. Findings. The General Assembly finds that:
22	22	7 (1) There is a significant shortage of safe,
23	23	8 affordable, and healthy rental housing in the State,
24	24	9 especially for hundreds of thousands of lower-income
25	25	10 renters. One-third of residents, or nearly 1.6 million
26	26	11 households, depend on rental housing.
27	27	12 (2) The rate at which rent has increased in the State
28	28	13 has continued to outpace the increase in residents' real
29	29	14 wages, resulting in an increasing rent burden borne by
30	30	15 households, especially vulnerable populations. This
31	31	16 growing burden threatens the quality and stability of
32	32	17 housing available to renters.
33	33	18 (3) Many households that depend on rental housing are
34	34	19 low-income and are rent-burdened, meaning that they pay
35	35	20 more than 30% of the household income on rent.
36	36	21 Additionally, some of these households are severely
37	37	22 cost-burdened, meaning that the household must devote more
38	38	23 than 50% of the household income to paying rent, leaving

83	83	1 little for other household necessities, such as health
84	84	2 care, education, vocational training, transportation, or
85	85	3 utilities.
86	86	4 (4) An inability to find affordable housing negatively
87	87	5 impacts tenants' economic stability, health and
88	88	6 well-being, and capacity to participate in their
89	89	7 communities. A lack of stable housing may limit a parent's
90	90	8 ability to maintain employment, a child's capacity to
91	91	9 succeed at school, and, for lower-income families, the
92	92	10 potential to escape the cycle of poverty.
93	93	11 (5) Tenants' inability to find and retain affordable
94	94	12 housing results in increased rates of involuntary
95	95	13 displacement, eviction, and property turnover, creating
96	96	14 additional burdens for landlords and property owners,
97	97	15 social service agencies, local governments, and the
98	98	16 judicial system, as well as renter households.
99	99	17 Section 10. Purpose. The purpose of this Act is to promote
100	100	18 the maintenance and expansion of the supply of healthy,
101	101	19 accessible, safe, and affordable rental housing, and to
102	102	20 establish the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants
103	103	21 in the rental of dwelling units in the State. This Act is
104	104	22 remedial in its general purpose and shall be construed
105	105	23 liberally to achieve its objectives.

339	339	9 written rental agreement, and the landlord fails to sign
340	340	10 or deliver the written agreement to the tenant, the
341	341	11 landlord's acceptance of rent, without reservation by the
342	342	12 landlord, gives the rental agreement the same effect as if
343	343	13 the landlord had signed and delivered the written rental
344	344	14 agreement to the tenant.
345	345	15 (2) If the landlord and tenant have agreed to a
346	346	16 written rental agreement, and the tenant fails to sign or
347	347	17 deliver the written agreement to the landlord, the
348	348	18 tenant's acceptance of possession and payment of rent,
349	349	19 without reservation, gives the rental agreement the same
350	350	20 effect as if the tenant had signed and delivered the
351	351	21 written rental agreement to the landlord.

455	455	17 under the circumstances set forth in this Section.
456	456	18 (b) A tenant has the following rights relating to
457	457	19 disclosure of costs:
458	458	20 (1) The tenant has the right to disclosure of utility
459	459	21 costs. A landlord shall disclose to the tenant whether the
460	460	22 landlord or tenant bears the responsibility for payment of
461	461	23 the cost of a utility for the dwelling unit.
462	462	24 (2) In rental agreements in which the tenant pays the

474	474	1 responsible to the utility company, the utility service
475	475	2 shall be individually metered to the dwelling unit and the
476	476	3 landlord shall disclose to the tenant in the rental
477	477	4 agreement the annual cost of service from the utility
478	478	5 providing the primary service during the previous 12
479	479	6 months, if known.
480	480	7 (3) In rental agreements in which the tenant pays the
481	481	8 cost of a utility for a dwelling unit to the landlord, the

483	483	10 agreement the annual cost of service from the utility
484	484	11 providing the primary service during the previous 12
485	485	12 months. If the landlord did not own the dwelling unit
486	486	13 during the previous 12 months or did not pay the utility
487	487	14 costs to the utility provider on behalf of the tenant
488	488	15 during the previous 12 months, the landlord may satisfy
489	489	16 this requirement by providing cost of service for a
490	490	17 similar dwelling unit, if known, or disclose to the tenant
491	491	18 that the utility costs are unknown to the landlord.
492	492	19 (4) When the landlord charges a move-in fee, the
493	493	20 landlord shall provide the tenant with an itemized list of
494	494	21 the landlord's reasonable estimate of the costs that
495	495	22 comprise the move-in fee and shall not charge the tenant
496	496	23 moving into the premises for costs associated with routine

669	669	16 or terminate the rental agreement. In each case, the
670	670	17 tenant may recover an amount equal to not more than 2
671	671	18 months' rent or twice the damages sustained by the tenant,
672	672	19 whichever is greater, and reasonable attorney's fees.

676	676	23 nonpayment of rent by paying the landlord unpaid rent, owed
677	677	24 from the date of nonpayment to the date of payment, together
678	678	25 with all filing fees and costs paid by the landlord and all

697	697	8 (a) If the landlord is not in material compliance with the
698	698	9 rental agreement or with Section 30, the tenant may deliver a
699	699	10 written notice to the landlord specifying the items of
700	700	11 material noncompliance. The tenant may deliver this written
701	701	12 notice at any time of month. The written notice shall indicate
702	702	13 that the tenant will withhold rent on the next rent payment
703	703	14 date if the landlord has not remedied the material
704	704	15 noncompliance within 14 days after receipt of written notice.
705	705	16 The tenant may withhold an amount of rent that reasonably
706	706	17 reflects the reduced value of the premises. The tenant may not
707	707	18 withhold for a condition caused by the deliberate or negligent
708	708	19 act or omission of the tenant, a member of the tenant's family,
709	709	20 or other person on the premises with the tenant's consent.
710	710	21 (b) If the landlord is not in material compliance with the
711	711	22 rental agreement or with Section 30, the tenant may deliver a
712	712	23 written notice to the landlord specifying the items of
713	713	24 material noncompliance. The tenant may deliver this written

726	726	2 the property if the landlord has not remedied the material
727	727	3 noncompliance within 14 days after receipt of written notice.
728	728	4 The tenant may not terminate for a condition caused by the
729	729	5 deliberate or negligent act or omission of the tenant, a
730	730	6 member of the tenant's family, or other person on the premises
731	731	7 with the tenant's consent. If the tenant does not vacate the
732	732	8 property within one month after the expiration of the 14-day
733	733	9 period or the end of the next rental period, whichever is
734	734	10 longer, then the tenant's written notice shall be deemed
735	735	11 withdrawn and the rental agreement shall remain in full force
736	736	12 and effect. If the rental agreement is terminated, the
737	737	13 landlord shall return the security deposit immediately upon
738	738	14 the tenant tendering possession.
739	739	15 (c) If the landlord is not in material compliance with the

741	741	17 damages and obtain injunctive relief for any material
742	742	18 noncompliance by the landlord with the rental agreement or
743	743	19 with Section 30. The landlord shall have an affirmative
744	744	20 defense to this action that the condition was caused by a
745	745	21 deliberate or negligent act or omission of the tenant, a
746	746	22 member of the tenant's family, or other person on the premises
747	747	23 with the tenant's consent.
748	748	24 (d) A tenant has the following remedies for denial of

764	764	4 landlord to provide Internet access, the tenant shall
765	765	5 deliver a written notice to the landlord specifying the
766	766	6 service to be restored. If the landlord fails to correct
767	767	7 the condition within 24 hours after being notified by the
768	768	8 tenant, the tenant may:
769	769	9 (A) withhold from the monthly rent an amount that
770	770	10 reasonably reflects the reduced value of the premises
771	771	11 due to the material noncompliance or failure;
772	772	12 (B) procure reasonable amounts of heat, running
773	773	13 water, hot water, electricity, gas, or plumbing
774	774	14 service and, upon presentation to the landlord of paid

776	776	16 (C) recover damages based upon the diminution in
777	777	17 the fair rental value of the dwelling unit and
778	778	18 reasonable attorney fees; or
779	779	19 (D) procure substitute housing and not pay rent
780	780	20 for the period of noncompliance. The tenant may
781	781	21 recover the cost of reasonable value of the substitute
782	782	22 housing up to an amount equal to the monthly rent and
783	783	23 reasonable fees.
784	784	24 (2) In addition to the remedy under paragraph (1), the
785	785	25 tenant may terminate the rental agreement by written

800	800	4 requires the landlord to provide Internet access, for more
801	801	5 than 72 hours after the tenant has notified the landlord.
802	802	6 If the rental agreement is terminated, the landlord shall
803	803	7 return all security deposits and the tenant shall deliver
804	804	8 possession of the dwelling unit to the landlord within 30
805	805	9 days after the expiration of the 72-hour time period
806	806	10 specified in the written notice or the end of the next
807	807	11 rental period, whichever is longer. The landlord shall
808	808	12 return the security deposit immediately upon the tenant
809	809	13 delivering possession. If the tenant does not vacate the
810	810	14 property within 30 days after the notification of
811	811	15 termination or the end of the next rental period,
812	812	16 whichever is longer, then the tenant's written notice
813	813	17 shall be deemed withdrawn and the rental agreement shall
814	814	18 remain in full force and effect.
815	815	19 (3) The tenant may not exercise the tenant's rights
816	816	20 under subsection (c) of Section 35 if the condition was
817	817	21 caused by the inability of a utility supplier or Internet
818	818	22 provider to provide service, unless the landlord caused
819	819	23 the inability of the utility supplier or Internet
820	820	24 provider, or by the deliberate or negligent act or
821	821	25 omission of the tenant, a member of the tenant's family,

833	833	1 (e) A tenant has the following remedies if there is a fire
834	834	2 or casualty:
835	835	3 (1) If the dwelling unit or premises is damaged or

837	837	5 dwelling unit or premises is in material noncompliance
838	838	6 with the rental agreement or with subsection (c) of
839	839	7 Section 35, the tenant may immediately vacate the premises
840	840	8 and notify the landlord in writing within 14 days after
841	841	9 vacating the premises of the tenant's intention to
842	842	10 terminate the rental agreement, in which case the rental
843	843	11 agreement terminates as of the date of fire or casualty.
844	844	12 (2) If continued occupancy is lawful, the tenant may
845	845	13 vacate any part of the dwelling unit rendered unusable by
846	846	14 the fire or casualty, in which case the tenant's liability
847	847	15 for rent is reduced in proportion to the diminution in the
848	848	16 fair rental value of the dwelling unit.
849	849	17 (3) If the tenant desires to continue the tenancy and
850	850	18 if the landlord has promised or begun work to repair the
851	851	19 damage or destruction but fails to carry out the work to
852	852	20 restore the dwelling unit or common area diligently and
853	853	21 within a reasonable time, the tenant may notify the
854	854	22 landlord in writing within 14 days after the tenant
855	855	23 becomes aware that work is not being carried out
856	856	24 diligently or within a reasonable time of the tenant's
857	857	25 intention to terminate the rental agreement, in which case

870	870	2 (4) If the rental agreement is terminated, the
871	871	3 landlord shall return the security deposit within 48
872	872	4 hours. When the landlord accounts for rent after the
873	873	5 tenant has terminated the rental agreement, the landlord
874	874	6 may not charge rent to the tenant for any date after the
875	875	7 date of the fire or casualty.
876	876	8 (5) A tenant may not exercise remedies in this
877	877	9 subsection if the fire or casualty damage was caused by
878	878	10 the deliberate or negligent act or omission of the tenant,
879	879	11 a member of the tenant's family, or a person on the
880	880	12 premises with the tenant's consent.

885	885	17 cost of compliance does not exceed $500 or one-half
886	886	18 month's rent, whichever amount is greater, the tenant may
887	887	19 notify the landlord in writing that, if the landlord does
888	888	20 not remedy the condition within 14 days after receipt of
889	889	21 the written notice or as promptly as conditions require in
890	890	22 case of emergency, the tenant will correct the condition
891	891	23 and withhold the cost of the repair from the tenant's next
892	892	24 rent payment. The tenant shall have work done in a
893	893	25 workmanlike manner. The tenant shall submit to the

981	981	7 provisions in the rental agreement.
982	982	8 (2) The landlord may only enter at reasonable times,
983	983	9 except in case of an emergency. An entry between 8:00 a.m.
984	984	10 and 8:00 p.m. or at any other time expressly requested by

994	994	20 provide this written notice directly to each dwelling
995	995	21 unit by mail, telephone, or written notice or by other
996	996	22 reasonable means designed in good faith to provide

998	998	24 because of repair work for common facilities or
999	999	25 multiple apartments, a general written notice may be

1015	1015	5 (D) If the tenant refuses to allow lawful access,
1016	1016	6 the landlord may obtain injunctive relief to compel
1017	1017	7 access or terminate the rental agreement. In either
1018	1018	8 case, the landlord may recover damages and reasonable

1020	1020	10 (E) If the landlord makes an unlawful entry or
1021	1021	11 entry in an unreasonable manner, or makes repeated

1024	1024	14 relief to prevent the recurrence of the conduct or
1025	1025	15 terminate the rental agreement. In each case, the
1026	1026	16 tenant may recover an amount equal to one month's rent
1027	1027	17 or twice the damages sustained, whichever is greater,
1028	1028	18 and reasonable attorney's fees.

1032	1032	22 regulations concerning the tenant's use and occupancy of
1033	1033	23 the premises. Rules and regulations are enforceable only
1034	1034	24 if in writing and if they are:

1059	1059	13 about the premises.
1060	1060	14 (2) A rule or regulation adopted after the tenant

1065	1065	19 (a) The landlord has the following remedies when the
1066	1066	20 tenant fails to pay rent:
1067	1067	21 (1) If the tenant is not in material compliance with
1068	1068	22 the obligation to pay rent, the landlord may deliver to
1069	1069	23 the tenant a written notice of the landlord's intention to
1070	1070	24 terminate the rental agreement. The landlord shall serve
1071	1071	25 the written notice in compliance with State law. If the

1083	1083	2 within 5 days after receipt, the landlord may file an
1084	1084	3 eviction action to terminate the rental agreement.
1085	1085	4 (2) Nothing in this subsection shall affect a
1086	1086	5 landlord's obligation to provide notice of termination of
1087	1087	6 tenancy in subsidized housing as required under federal
1088	1088	7 law or regulations.
1089	1089	8 (3) A landlord may also maintain an action for rent or
1090	1090	9 damages without terminating the rental agreement.
1091	1091	10 (b) If the landlord alleges that the tenant is not in
1092	1092	11 material compliance with a rental agreement or the obligations
1093	1093	12 in Section 40, the landlord may deliver written notice to the
1094	1094	13 tenant specifying the acts and omissions constituting the
1095	1095	14 alleged breach. The landlord shall serve the written notice in
1096	1096	15 compliance with State law. The written notice may provide that
1097	1097	16 the rental agreement will terminate upon a date no less than 10
1098	1098	17 days after the date of the written notice. The tenant shall
1099	1099	18 have the amount of time specified in the written notice to
1100	1100	19 remedy any alleged breach by the tenant prior to the date of
1101	1101	20 termination. If the breach is not remedied, the landlord may
1102	1102	21 file an eviction to terminate the rental agreement, as
1103	1103	22 provided in the written notice. The landlord may recover
1104	1104	23 damages and obtain injunctive relief for any material
1105	1105	24 noncompliance by the tenant with the rental agreement or the
1106	1106	25 obligations in Section 40. If the landlord does not file an

1120	1120	3 withdrawn and the rental agreement shall remain in full force
1121	1121	4 and effect.
1122	1122	5 (c) The landlord has the right to determine abandonment of
1123	1123	6 the dwelling unit and dispose of personal property. The
1124	1124	7 landlord may determine that the tenant has abandoned the
1125	1125	8 dwelling unit and personal property in the following
1126	1126	9 circumstances:
1127	1127	10 (1) The tenant has provided written notice to the
1128	1128	11 landlord indicating the tenant's intention not to return
1129	1129	12 to the dwelling unit.
1130	1130	13 (2) All persons entitled under a rental agreement have
1131	1131	14 been absent from the dwelling unit for a period of 32 days,
1132	1132	15 or for one rental period when the rental agreement is for
1133	1133	16 less than a month, and the persons have removed their
1134	1134	17 personal property from the premises and rent for that
1135	1135	18 period is unpaid. However, if any person entitled to
1136	1136	19 occupancy provides the landlord with written notice
1137	1137	20 indicating that a tenant intends to occupy the dwelling
1138	1138	21 unit and make full payments of all amounts due to the
1139	1139	22 landlord, then the landlord may not determine that the
1140	1140	23 tenant has abandoned the property.
1141	1141	24 (3) If the tenant abandons the dwelling unit, the
1142	1142	25 landlord shall make a good faith effort to rent it at a
1143	1143	26 fair rental value. A good faith effort includes the
1144	1144

1154	1154	1 acceptance of reasonable subleases. If the landlord
1155	1155	2 succeeds in renting the dwelling unit at a fair rental
1156	1156	3 value, the tenant shall only be liable for the amount by
1157	1157	4 which the rent due from the date of abandonment to the
1158	1158	5 termination of the initial rental agreement exceeds the
1159	1159	6 fair rental value subsequently received by the landlord
1160	1160	7 from the date of abandonment to the termination of the
1161	1161	8 initial rental agreement. If the landlord makes a good
1162	1162	9 faith effort to rent the dwelling unit at a fair rental
1163	1163	10 value and is unsuccessful, the tenant shall be liable for
1164	1164	11 the rent due for the period of the rental agreement. The
1165	1165	12 tenant shall also be liable for reasonable advertising and
1166	1166	13 redecoration costs incurred by the landlord in re-renting
1167	1167	14 the dwelling unit.
1168	1168	15 (4) Unless otherwise agreed, if, upon termination of a
1169	1169	16 tenancy, including, but not limited to, a termination
1170	1170	17 after expiration of a lease or by surrender or abandonment
1171	1171	18 of the premises, a tenant has left personal property on
1172	1172	19 the premises, and the landlord reasonably believes that
1173	1173	20 the tenant has abandoned the personal property, the
1174	1174	21 landlord may dispose of the property according to the
1175	1175	22 following procedures:
1176	1176	23 (A) If the landlord in good faith reasonably
1177	1177	24 determines that the tenant has left personal property
1178	1178	25 that is valueless or of such little value that the cost
1179	1179	26 of storing and conducting a sale would probably exceed

1191	1191	2 landlord shall retain the property either in the
1192	1192	3 dwelling unit or remove and store the abandoned
1193	1193	4 property from the dwelling unit and may dispose of the
1194	1194	5 property after 7 days. The landlord shall not be
1195	1195	6 required to provide written notice to the tenant of
1196	1196	7 the landlord's intent to dispose of property pursuant
1197	1197	8 to this subsection.
1198	1198	9 (B) If the landlord in good faith reasonably
1199	1199	10 determines that the tenant has left personal property
1200	1200	11 that has value, the landlord shall notify the tenant
1201	1201	12 in writing of the landlord's demand that the tenant
1202	1202	13 remove the property within dates set forth in the
1203	1203	14 written notice, but no less than 7 days after delivery
1204	1204	15 of the written notice. The landlord may deliver this
1205	1205	16 written notice by posting it in a prominent location
1206	1206	17 inside the dwelling unit or on the front door of the
1207	1207	18 dwelling unit or by electronic means if the parties
1208	1208	19 had previously communicated electronically.
1209	1209	20 (C) If the tenant does not remove the property
1210	1210	21 within the time specified, the landlord may sell the
1211	1211	22 property at a public sale or at a commercially
1212	1212	23 reasonable private sale. The landlord may retain the
1213	1213	24 proceeds of the sale to recover any rent owed by the
1214	1214	25 tenant to the landlord. If the proceeds, less

1227	1227	2 shall retain the proceeds for one year. If the tenant
1228	1228	3 does not claim the proceeds within one year, the
1229	1229	4 proceeds shall be the property of the landlord.
1230	1230	5 (5) At any time that the landlord is storing personal
1231	1231	6 property pursuant to this subsection, the landlord shall
1232	1232	7 exercise reasonable care of the property, but shall not be
1233	1233	8 responsible to the tenant for any loss except for damage
1234	1234	9 caused by the landlord's deliberate or negligent act or
1235	1235	10 omission. The landlord may elect to store the property in
1236	1236	11 or about the previously vacated premises. The landlord
1237	1237	12 shall be entitled to the cost of storage for the period of
1238	1238	13 time that the property has remained in the landlord's
1239	1239	14 safekeeping. In this case, the storage shall not exceed
1240	1240	15 commercially reasonable storage rates. If the tenant's
1241	1241	16 property is removed to a commercial storage company, the
1242	1242	17 storage cost shall include the actual charge for the
1243	1243	18 storage and removal from the premises to the place of
1244	1244	19 storage.
1245	1245	20 (6) If the tenant timely responds in writing of the
1246	1246	21 tenant's intention to remove the personal property from
1247	1247	22 the premises and does not do so within the time period in
1248	1248	23 the landlord's written notice or a mutually agreeable

1250	1250	25 they have abandoned the property.

1264	1264	3 landlord waives the right to terminate the rental agreement
1265	1265	4 for that breach.
1266	1266	5 (e) If the rental agreement is terminated, the landlord
1267	1267	6 may file a claim for possession or for rent and a separate
1268	1268	7 claim for damages for breach of the rental agreement.
1269	1269	8 (f) No tenant shall be required to renew a rental
1270	1270	9 agreement more than 60 days prior to the termination date of
1271	1271	10 the rental agreement. If the landlord violates this
1272	1272	11 subsection, the tenant shall recover one month's rent or
1273	1273	12 actual damages, whichever is greater.
1274	1274	13 The landlord shall notify the tenant in writing at least
1275	1275	14 60 days prior to the stated termination date of the rental
1276	1276	15 agreement of the landlord's intent to terminate a
1277	1277	16 month-to-month tenancy or not renew an existing rental
1278	1278	17 agreement. If the landlord fails to give required written
1279	1279	18 notice, the tenant may remain in the dwelling unit for up to
1280	1280	19 120 days after the date on which the required written notice is
1281	1281	20 given to the tenant, regardless of the date specified in the
1282	1282	21 existing rental agreement. During the 120 days, the terms and
1283	1283	22 conditions of the tenancy shall be the same as the terms and
1284	1284	23 conditions during the last month of tenancy.

1301	1301	5 that the tenant is to perform specified repairs, maintenance
1302	1302	6 tasks, alterations, or remodeling only if:

1315	1315	19 person authorized to enter into a rental agreement on the
1316	1316	20 landlord's behalf, shall disclose to the tenant in

1319	1319	23 the municipality or other oversight body during the

1346	1346	14 by written notice. The written notice shall specify the
1347	1347	15 date of termination no later than 30 days after the date of
1348	1348	16 written notice. In addition, if a tenant, in a civil
1349	1349	17 proceeding against an owner or landlord, establishes that
1350	1350	18 the landlord has violated this subsection, the tenant
1351	1351	19 shall be entitled to recover one month's rent or actual

1871	1871	1 (1) If the landlord attempts to terminate the rental
1872	1872	2 agreement, the tenant may retain possession by raising
1873	1873	3 this Section as a defense. If the tenant prevails on this
1874	1874	4 defense, the tenant shall recover an amount equal to not

2128	2128	14 result of the election shall be made to the clerk of the unit
2129	2129	15 of local government. If a majority of voters voting upon the
2130	2130	16 referendum vote "YES", the unit of local government shall be
2131	2131	17 exempt from subsection (a) of Section 5 either for the entire

2153	2153	3 (a) A home rule unit may not regulate the rental of
2154	2154	4 residential dwelling units in a manner that is inconsistent
2155	2155	5 with, diminishes, or undermines the protections of this Act.
2156	2156	6 This subsection is a limitation of home rule powers and
2157	2157	7 functions under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of
2158	2158	8 the Illinois Constitution. A home rule unit may not regulate
2159	2159	9 or control the amount of rent charged for leasing private
2160	2160	10 residential or commercial property. This Section is a denial
2161	2161	11 and limitation of home rule powers and functions under
2162	2162	12 subsection (g) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois
2163	2163	13 Constitution.
2164	2164	14 (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a), a home rule unit may
2165	2165	15 augment the protections of this Act or establish additional
2166	2166	16 rights, obligations, or remedies through its concurrent
2167	2167	17 exercise of home rule power.

2184	2184	2 Sec. 18. Security deposit; Interest. Security deposits and
2185	2185	3 interest under this Act are governed by Section 60 of the Let
2186	2186	4 the People Lift the Ban Act.
2187	2187	5 (a) If the lease requires the tenant to provide any
2188	2188	6 deposit with the park owner for the term of the lease, or any
2189	2189	7 part thereof, said deposit shall be considered a Security
2190	2190	8 Deposit. Security Deposits shall be returned in full to the
2191	2191	9 tenant, provided that the tenant has paid all rent due in full
2192	2192	10 for the term of the lease and has caused no actual damage to
2193	2193	11 the premises.
2194	2194	12 The park owner shall furnish the tenant, within 15 days
2195	2195	13 after termination or expiration of the lease, an itemized list
2196	2196	14 of the damages incurred upon the premises and the estimated
2197	2197	15 cost for the repair of each item. The tenant's failure to
2198	2198	16 object to the itemized list within 15 days shall constitute an
2199	2199	17 agreement upon the amount of damages specified therein. The
2200	2200	18 park owner's failure to furnish such itemized list of damages
2201	2201	19 shall constitute an agreement that no damages have been
2202	2202	20 incurred upon the premises and the entire security deposit
2203	2203	21 shall become immediately due and owing to the tenant.
2204	2204	22 The tenant's failure to furnish the park owner a
2205	2205	23 forwarding address shall excuse the park owner from furnishing
2206	2206	24 the list required by this Section.
2207	2207	25 (b) A park owner of any park regularly containing 25 or

2219	2219	1 deposit held by the park owner, computed from the date of the
2220	2220	2 deposit at a rate equal to the interest paid by the largest
2221	2221	3 commercial bank, as measured by total assets, having its main
2222	2222	4 banking premises in this State on minimum deposit passbook
2223	2223	5 savings accounts as of December 31 of the preceding year on any
2224	2224	6 such deposit held by the park owner for more than 6 months.
2225	2225	7 However, in the event that any portion of the amount deposited
2226	2226	8 is utilized during the period for which it is deposited in
2227	2227	9 order to compensate the owner for non-payment of rent or to
2228	2228	10 make a good faith reimbursement to the owner for damage caused
2229	2229	11 by the tenant, the principal on which the interest accrues may
2230	2230	12 be recomputed to reflect the reduction for the period
2231	2231	13 commencing on the first day of the calendar month following
2232	2232	14 the reduction.
2233	2233	15 The park owner shall, within 30 days after the end of each
2234	2234	16 12-month period, pay to the tenant any interest owed under
2235	2235	17 this Section in cash, provided, however, that the amount owed
2236	2236	18 may be applied to rent due if the owner and tenant agree
2237	2237	19 thereto.
2238	2238	20 A park owner who willfully fails or refuses to pay the
2239	2239	21 interest required by this Act shall, upon a finding by a
2240	2240	22 circuit court that he willfully failed or refused to pay, be
2241	2241	23 liable for an amount equal to the amount of the security
2242	2242	24 deposit, together with court costs and a reasonable attorney's
2243	2243	25 fee.

2263	2263	9 obligations to, the park owner, as landlord, in accordance
2264	2264	10 with the lease or applicable State and local law. The security
2265	2265	11 deposit shall not be commingled with the assets of the park
2266	2266	12 owner, and shall not be subject to the claims of any creditor
2267	2267	13 of the park owner or any party claiming an interest in the
2268	2268	14 deposit through the park owner, including a foreclosing
2269	2269	15 mortgagee or trustee in bankruptcy; provided that this
