Wrongful Eviction Legal Steps
Summary
In Illinois, landlords must follow strict eviction procedures, including providing notice and obtaining a court order. If these steps are not followed, it may constitute wrongful eviction. Landlords cannot dispose of tenants belongings without legal procedures. If the sheriff did not execute the eviction within the typical 14-21 day window after a court order, it may be worth discussing with a legal professional. Document all communications and agreements with your landlord, and consider seeking legal advice to explore your options for wrongful eviction.Full Conversation
