For Tenants

The provision at 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 735 § 0.01 simply gives the law its official name — the Rental Property Utility Service Act — which tenants and advocates can use when researching rights or referencing the law in communications. Knowing the Act's proper title can help when searching for the full text of the law or when contacting a tenant-rights organization for guidance. The substantive protections and rights related to utility services in rental housing are found in the other sections of this Act.
