765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 721 § 95
The Retaliatory Eviction Act is repealed
Operative Text
The Retaliatory Eviction Act is repealed.
Section 95 of 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 721 formally repeals the Retaliatory Eviction Act, removing it from Illinois statutory law. This means the standalone act that once explicitly prohibited landlords from evicting tenants in retaliation for certain protected activities no longer exists as a separate statute. Any protections or obligations that were contained in that act are no longer operative under that specific law, though other Illinois statutes or common law principles may address related conduct.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 721 § 95, the Retaliatory Eviction Act has been repealed, so landlords should be aware that the specific statutory framework it created is no longer in effect. Compliant operators typically stay informed about which other Illinois laws or local ordinances may still govern retaliatory conduct, since the repeal of one statute does not necessarily eliminate all related legal obligations. Consulting current Illinois landlord-tenant law and any applicable local regulations is a common practice for property managers navigating this area.
