Plain English

Section 999 of 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 755 is a standard effective-date clause, establishing that the Act became operative at the moment it was signed into law rather than on some future calendar date. It does not create substantive rights or obligations on its own; it simply anchors the timeline for when all other provisions in the Act began to apply. The remainder of the Act's requirements govern the actual conduct of landlords and tenants.

For Property Managers

For Tenants

Under 765 Ill. Comp.

Tenants seeking to understand how the Act's timeline affects their situation may find it helpful to consult a tenant-rights organization or review resources provided by the Illinois General Assembly.
