Residential Real Estate Caselaw and Legislative Update 2021

Learn the different definitions of property, the various ways individuals and businesses can own property, how to identify the property you own, and the Illinois laws that can help you protect your property once you have identified it.

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.

Landlord-tenant practice has never been more heavily legislated by the CRLTO and the CCRTLO. Do these ordinances favor one “side” over the other? What can your client do and what must your client never do? What about eviction moratoria? The ins and outs are presented by a very experienced practitioner in an organized and down-to-earth manner.
