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.
