Cook County Residential Tenant Landlord Ordinance

Michael Rooney reviews significant developments in caselaw. Topics covered include professional conduct, mortgage foreclosure, dissolution of marriage, Illinois Land Trusts, Mechanics Liens, and Tenancy by Entirety. The written materials include two very important features. First, some cases include a PRACTICE POINTER (and sometimes more than one) to reinforce how the holding in the case affects the practice of law. Second, we have included sufficient blank space following each case so attendees can make notes in the written materials.

Dick Bales covers it all, from party and retaining walls, to covenants, conditions and restrictions (including liquor), private streets, alleys and the abandoned dedication, possible defenses against Adverse Possession, the Entry on Adjoining Land to Accomplish Repairs Act, The Illinois Drainage Code (70 ILCS 605/1-1 et seq.), The Fence Act (765 ILCS 130/1 et seq.), The Homeowners’ Energy Policy Statement Act (765 ILCS 165/1 et seq.), and Easements for Light and Air.
