});Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 730, it is a criminal offense for any person or corporation to use or display a written lease — or other written evidence of a leasing arrangement — that does not have all required concessions endorsed on it, when that lease is being used to facilitate the sale of the property or to secure a loan against it. The law treats the omission of those concession disclosures as more than a civil matter; it elevates the conduct to a Class A misdemeanor under Illinois law. The rule is designed to ensure that anyone evaluating a property transaction has accurate, complete information about the terms under which the property is actually being leased.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 730 generally ensure that every written lease or leasing document presented in connection with a property sale or loan transaction has all applicable concessions — such as rent reductions, free periods, or other inducements — clearly endorsed directly on the document. Compliant operators treat the endorsement requirement as a prerequisite before any lease is shared with a prospective buyer, lender, or their representatives. Because a violation of this provision constitutes a Class A misdemeanor in Illinois, operators typically build document-review checkpoints into their transaction workflows to confirm that no lease is circulated without the required disclosures.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
For tenants, 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 730 reflects a broader Illinois policy interest in transparent leasing records, particularly when a landlord's property is being sold or refinanced. If a tenant becomes aware that a lease being used in a sale or loan transaction does not accurately reflect concessions they were granted — such as a rent-free period or reduced rent — that discrepancy may be relevant to how the transaction is evaluated. Tenants who believe this provision has been violated can consult a tenant-rights organization, contact the Illinois Attorney General's office, or seek guidance from a licensed Illinois attorney about what options may be available.
