Morton Grove — Ch. 10-11 Condominium Conversion § 10-11-2
CONVERSION NOTICE REQUIRED
Operative Text
No real estate may be submitted to the provisions of the Condominium Property Act of Illinois, within the corporate limits of the Village, and no such attempted submission shall be valid unless: A. A notice of intent to submit the real estate to said act (notice of intent) has been given to all persons who were tenants of the building located on the real estate on the date notice is given. Such notice shall be given at least one hundred twenty (120) days and not more than one year prior to the recording of the declaration which submits the real estate to said act. Such notice shall also be delivered to the Village clerk within said time period. B. The developer executes and acknowledges a certificate and file the same with the Village clerk, which provides that the developer, prior to the execution by him or his agent of any agreement for the sale of a unit, has given a copy of the notice of intent to all persons who were tenants of the building located on the real estate on the date the notice of intent was given. Any notice provided for in this section shall be deemed given when a written notice is delivered in person or mailed, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested to the party who is being given the notice.
Morton Grove's Ch. 10-11 Condominium Conversion § 10-11-2 establishes that a residential building cannot be legally converted to condominiums unless tenants who lived there on the date notice is given receive a written notice of intent at least 120 days—but no more than one year—before the conversion declaration is recorded. The same notice must also be delivered to the Village Clerk within that window. Additionally, the developer must file a certificate with the Village Clerk confirming that every tenant received a copy of the notice before any unit sale agreements are signed. Notice is only considered valid when delivered in person or sent via certified or registered mail with return receipt requested.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and developers planning a condominium conversion in Morton Grove must comply with § 10-11-2 before the process can be considered legally valid. A compliant operator identifies all tenants residing in the building on the date notice is issued, delivers written notice of intent to each of them within the required 120-day-to-one-year window before recording the declaration, and simultaneously delivers that notice to the Village Clerk. Before executing any unit sale agreements, the developer also prepares and files a signed certificate with the Village Clerk confirming that all tenants received the required notice; failure to complete these steps renders the attempted conversion submission invalid.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under Morton Grove Ch. 10-11 Condominium Conversion § 10-11-2, tenants who lived in a building on the date a conversion notice is issued have a legal right to receive that written notice—delivered in person or by certified or registered mail—at least 120 days before the conversion declaration is recorded. If a tenant did not receive proper notice as required by § 10-11-2, the conversion submission may be considered invalid, which can serve as a basis for challenging the conversion. Tenants who believe this notice requirement was not followed may consider contacting the Morton Grove Village Clerk's office to verify whether the required filings were made, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
