Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that a municipal clerk must establish a residential lease depository. Provides that each owner of a single-family house that is rented to a person other than the owner must file a copy of the lease agreement in the depository, and the lease must include all persons who are authorized to reside in the house. Provides that the lease agreements in the depository are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Allows the clerk to initiate an eviction action against a person residing at the house if the clerk receives a complaint or other notification that a person not authorized to reside in a house is residing in the house or is notified of a citation against the property or persons residing on the property and any person fails to provide verification that the person is authorized to reside in the house. Provides that a municipal clerk must establish an adverse possession notice depository. Provides that a person who wishes to establish a claim of adverse possession by wrongful ousting for property within the municipality must file a notice of adverse possession with the clerk. Requires a copy of the notice to be provided to the registered owner of the property. Amends the Freedom of Information Act and the Code of Civil Procedure to make conforming changes. Further amends the Code of Civil Procedure. Provides that the right to make an entry or bring a cause of action from a wrongful ouster on land within a municipality shall be deemed to have first accrued at the time of the wrongful ouster or the time a notice of adverse possession is filed with the municipal clerk, whichever is later. Provides that, prior to the initiation of an action for adverse possession for wrongful ousting of property located within a municipality, a person must first obtain a certified copy of the notice filed and attached the certified copy to the pleadings.
