Tenant Won’t Leave? Chicago’s Nastiest Eviction Trick

Tenant won’t pay rent and won’t leave? Some landlords have tried some absolutely insane tactics to force tenants out—including putting rotting fish into HVAC vents so the smell takes over the property. Don’t do it. That kind of self-help eviction tactic can be illegal and create a much bigger problem for the landlord. If you’re dealing with a bad tenant in Chicago, handle the eviction through the proper legal process instead of turning a rental dispute into an even more expensive mess.
