Call for Action: Tell Your Alderperson Fairness is Needed in the RLTO

For years, the Residential Landlord Tenant Ordinance (RLTO) has put landlords and housing providers at a disadvantage. Alderman Brian Hopkins is sponsoring O2021-1911, which amends the current, outdated RLTO adopted in 1986. The new amendments bring basic fairness to the legislation without stripping tenants of their rights.

Take 2 Minutes & Tell your Alderperson a hearing is needed for this new amendment.

Ordinance O2021-1911 will:

• help landlords avoid large penalties for what are usually minimal, accidental violations with the introduction of a cure period
• provide judges discretion when judgments are rendered
• allow electronic distribution of leases, lease riders and required City of Chicago addendums (a much-needed update for the digital age!)
• provide gender neutrality throughout the Ordinance

This call for action is particularly important if your alderperson is:

• Pat Dowell, 3rd Ward
• Gregory Mitchell, 7th Ward
• Michelle Harris, 8th Ward
• Marty Quinn, 13th Ward
• Raymond Lopez, 15th Ward
• David Moore, 17th Ward
• Walter Burnett, 27th Ward
• Scott Waguespack, 32nd Ward
• Carrie Austin, 34th Ward
• Anthony Napolitano, 41st Ward
• James Cappleman, 46th Ward
