SB3599 allows hotel operators to evict non-paying occupants who are not tenants under Illinois law.
SB3599 provides a process for hotel operators to evict occupants who fail to pay for lodging and remain on the premises without consent. It defines a non-paying occupant as a trespasser, not a tenant, unless they have a bona fide lease agreement. The Act allows peace officers to remove such occupants as trespassers and arrest them for criminal trespass if they refuse to vacate. It also provides a safe harbor for operators and employees acting in good faith and compliance with the Act, protecting them from civil or criminal liability.
