Your Illinois move-out, dated from notice to deposit.
Enter your lease end or the day you give notice. You get every step that matters, each with its date and the statute behind it: notice, the steps that start your landlord's clock, report day, keys, and the day the deposit is due.
Send your forwarding address in writingYour deadline
Give a mailing or e-mail address: without one, the landlord isn't liable for damages or penalties.
Move-out condition report: photos of every roomYour deadline
Photograph each room after you clean, before you hand back the keys. Hashes and server receipts record when housr saw each photo.
Hand back the keys (your surrender date)Starts the clock
Illinois's clock starts when: you vacate (or possession ends, if later). Write down the date and how you returned the keys.
Itemized statement due (if anything is kept)Landlord's deadline
30 days for an itemized statement with receipts. Without one, the full deposit is due by day 45.
Full deposit due if no itemized statement was sentLandlord's deadline
45 calendar days from move-out.
If nothing has arrived: send the demand letterYour deadline
Late is a fact you can put in writing. The letter cites 765 ILCS 710/1 and the date it was due.
Small claims, if the demand goes unanswered
We haven't checked Illinois's small-claims limit yet. The date assumes the 10-day reply window housr suggests in the letter.
