Amendment of Municipal Code Chapter 5-12 by adding new Section 5-12-035 requiring landlords to present tenants with list of reasonable costs associated with pre-rental fees or payments
Auto-generated summary
Chicago's ordinance amends the Municipal Code to regulate uncontrolled 'move-in' and 'junk' fees, protecting tenants from predatory landlords. It mandates an itemized list of costs in residential leases, making non-compliance an offense punishable by a fine, and prohibits landlords from replacing refundable security deposits with non-refundable, non-itemized surcharges.
