Illinois landlord notices, with the statute cited

Where Illinois landlords get this wrong
- Chicago landlords must attach the RLTO summary and a radon disclosure, or the pay-or-quit notice is defective.
- The 60-day termination period applies once a tenant has been in possession a year.
- Deposit interest is owed on deposits held more than six months in Chicago.

Questions landlords ask at 11pm
Is this legal advice?
No. RentDemand is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. It assembles a self-help document from the statute shown on the notice and computes your deadline. For anything contested, hire a lawyer in your state — the notice you generate here is the document you hand them.
How is this different from a free template?
A free template gives you the same paragraph in every state with blank day counts. RentDemand knows that a Florida pay-or-quit skips weekends and holidays, that Virginia gives 21 days to cure but only 5 to pay, that North Carolina terminates a month-to-month tenancy in 7 days, and that Georgia has no cure period at all. It also computes the actual date the period ends.
What if my lease sets a different period?
Change the number. The notice period field is pre-filled with the statutory default and is yours to edit — a lease can lengthen a cure period, and the longer period then controls.
Do I get a PDF?
You get a print-ready document with correct 8.5×11 pagination. Click Unlock and your browser's print dialog opens; choose Save as PDF. That gives you a cleaner file than most generators produce, because the browser does the typesetting.
What if I serve it wrong?
Service is where these notices fail. Every document includes a proof-of-service block with the recognised methods for your state, and the day-of-service exclusion is already built into the deadline. If you serve by mail, tick the box and the mailing extension is added automatically.
