Summary
Illinois lease agreements often include terms about security deposits, rent, and landlord responsibilities. A security deposit ensures tenant compliance, and upon lease termination, it should be returned as per state law. The lease term in this case is 2 years, with a total rent of $18,000, payable in monthly installments of $750. Landlord responsibilities, such as sewage maintenance, should be specified in the lease. If not, local laws may apply. Landlords must maintain habitable conditions, including proper sewage systems. If a sewage backup causes health issues like sepsis, the landlord might be liable if negligence is proven. To establish a claim, document the issue, obtain medical records, and gather evidence of landlord negligence.Full Conversation
