Operators subject to 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.611 generally ensure that every lease agreement is in writing, covers a minimum term of 12 months, and incorporates a Rental Assistance Rider as a required attachment. Compliant operators also make certain the lease explicitly states which party bears responsibility for each utility. Standard practice includes delivering executed copies of the lease to both the tenant and the applicable funding agency before or at the time of occupancy.

Under 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.611, tenants in covered developments have the right to receive a written lease of at least 12 months, a Rental Assistance Rider, and a clear statement of utility responsibilities. Tenants are also entitled to their own copy of the signed lease. If a lease is missing these elements or a copy was never provided, tenants may raise this as a concern with the funding agency overseeing the development or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
