Under HB 3564, starting January 1, 2027, Illinois leases can no longer charge fees or fines for:

- Lease renewals or modifications
- After-hours maintenance requests
- Routine maintenance and upkeep
- Contacting the owner or manager about the tenancy
- Maintenance hotline calls
- Travel to complete repairs
- Move-in and move-out walk-throughs
- Pest removal when the resident didn't cause the problem
- Eviction notices or filings before a court order

Renaming a fee doesn't get around the law. Now is the time to review your fee schedules and listings.

New name, stronger voice, but the same staff and statewide mission behind IAA.

Starting January 1, 2027, Illinois' new rental fee law (HB 3564, Public Act 104-0479) applies to every residential lease signed on or after that date. Here's what changes:

- All required fees, one-time or recurring, must be listed on the first page of the lease. If a fee isn't on page one, the resident doesn't owe it.
- Listings must disclose required fees and whether utilities are included in rent.
- Application fees, including background checks, are capped at $50, with a narrow exception for higher third-party screening costs.

Leases for owner-occupied buildings with 6 or fewer units are exempt. IAA will keep members updated as January 1 approaches.
