Violations On Security Deposit And Validation Of Clauses For Renters Rights
The security deposit violations come in handy for the renters to make their rights certain within the ambit of chicago renters rights and Tenant Ordinance (“RLTO”). The basic injunctions of the Ordinance is that the Landlord should compulsorily maintain a separate bank account in Chicago for the security deposit received so from his tenant and shouldn’t at any point of time club rent and security deposit payments. The other violations in brief are the rent and security deposit in Chicago should not be collected in the same check and money order, missing of critical details in the security deposit receipts like the details of the residing unit and the signature of the person receiving it, failure to credit annual interest and paying accrued interest after lapse of the notified period of one year, not providing paid receipts to tenants for the eligible deductions from the security deposits and receipts with suspecting round numbers, failing to include the clause of “still holding security deposit” in case the apartment is sold, mentioning insufficient address for communication like a PO Box. The renters can now stand to exercise their rights in Chicago in case they feel that they have been deceived by appropriately verifying whether the guidelines for security deposit has been followed with no violations in the above respect.
