Property owners and managers operating in Illinois should be aware that any eviction action must be pursued within the procedural framework established under 735 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5 § Art. IX. Compliant operators generally ensure that all steps taken to remove a tenant — from notice through court filing — conform to the requirements set out within this article. Familiarity with the article's scope helps operators avoid procedural missteps that could delay or invalidate an eviction action.
