Operative Text
Further demand. Where a tenancy is terminated by notice, under either of the 2 preceding sections, no further demand is necessary before bringing an action under the statute in relation to eviction or ejectment.
Under 735 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5 § 9-208, once a tenancy has been properly terminated through a statutory notice under either of the two preceding sections, the landlord is not required to make any additional demand before filing an eviction or ejectment action in court. The notice itself satisfies the pre-suit demand requirement, meaning no separate follow-up request to vacate is legally necessary. This rule streamlines the procedural path from notice to court filing.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 735 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5 § 9-208, operators who have properly served a termination notice in compliance with the two preceding statutory sections may proceed directly to filing an eviction or ejectment action without issuing a second or 'further' demand. Compliant practice generally involves ensuring the original notice was properly served and meets all statutory requirements, since that notice does the procedural work that § 9-208 recognizes. Maintaining clear records of the notice and its service method supports a clean court filing.

Under 735 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5 § 9-208, a landlord who has served a valid statutory termination notice is not required to issue any additional demand before taking the matter to court, which means an eviction action may follow the original notice without further warning. Tenants who believe the underlying notice was defective or improperly served may be able to raise those issues as a defense in the eviction proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid offices familiar with Illinois eviction procedure can help explain what a valid notice under the preceding sections must contain.
