We are currently representing tenants throughout the State of Illinois
who have suffered damages when their landlords violated their security deposit rights.
Our offices have brought both individual and class actions against landlords, management companies
and building owners for their failure to comply with the City of Chicago Residential Landlord and
Tenant Ordinance RLTO Section 5-12et.seq., and/or Security Deposit
Interest Act, 765 ILCS 715/1 et. seq., and/or Illinois Security
Deposit Return Act 765 ILCS 710/1 et.seq. when they:
- did not provide the required interest, by cash or credit, on tenants' security deposits
within 30 days after the end of each 12 month rental period; or
- did not provide an intemized statement of damages allegedly caused to the premises
within 30 days after the date their tenants vacated their apartments; or
- did not return the security deposit, or any balance thereof and the required interest
thereon, within 45 days after the date their tenants vacated their apartments.
Oftentimes, tenants are unaware of their rights or refuse to pursue their remedies because they
are intimidated by management companies or feel that it is just not worth it. However, we feel that allowing
landlords to violate the law is not just. Our goals in these actions are to: 1) promote and protect tenants'
rights; 2) ensure compliance with city and state landlord/tenant laws; and 3) obtain just recovery for our clients.
Accordingly, if you or anyone you know has not received the required interest payments or has
had a secuity deposit withheld unjustly,we encourage you to contact
an attorney at Touhy & Touhy Ltd.
