Illinois HB5222 establishes a legal process for hotel operators to evict non-paying occupants while protecting tenants under bona fide lease.
HB5222 amends the Code of Civil Procedure to provide a legal process for hotel operators to evict occupants who fail to pay for lodging and remain on the premises without consent. The process requires the operator to make a reasonable effort to collect payment, provide written notice to vacate, and retain documentation. Law enforcement can assist in removing non-paying occupants as trespassers, but cannot intervene in bona fide lease disputes or genuine payment contests.
