Introduced Text

Illinois HB5292 allows tenants to terminate residential leases without penalty under specific conditions.

Illinois HB5292 amends the Landlord and Tenant Act to allow tenants to terminate leases without penalty or liability under certain conditions. Tenants can terminate if their residential unit or common areas violate health or safety codes due to the landlord's fault, or if they need long-term, full-time care. The landlord or tenant's representative can also terminate upon the death of the tenant. Tenants must provide at least 30 days' written notice, including an explanation for termination due to health needs.
