[PRACTICE AREAS]

Landlord/Tenant Evictions and Lease Review

At Harter & Schottland, our attorneys have represented landlords in countless evictions. We have a comprehensive knowledge of the law as it relates to evictions and can help you get the job done efficiently and successfully.

When tenants fail to pay rent or violate lease terms, landlords have the right to take legal action. However, eviction is a highly regulated process, and missteps can cost you valuable time and money. If handled incorrectly, you could lose months of rent, remain stuck with a non-paying tenant, or even risk foreclosure.

At Harter & Schottland, we represent landlords in eviction proceedings throughout Northern Illinois. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling both residential and commercial evictions and understand how to move cases forward quickly, efficiently, and in full compliance with the law.

Prompt and Effective Action

Time is critical in eviction matters. When rent goes unpaid, we immediately:

  • Prepare and serve the required five-day notice to the tenant.
  • If payment is not made, file a forcible entry and detainer action (eviction) in court.
  • If necessary, coordinate with the Sheriff’s department to lawfully remove tenants and, with proper court orders, their property.

We work diligently to minimize your losses and restore control of your property as soon as possible.
