Could someone please share the 2025 Chicago Residential Lease?

Question

Hi all! I'm renewing a tenant's lease soon and would love to get an updated copy of the new CAR lease for 2025. Could someone please provide a copy?

Brie Schmidt · Answer

Because CAR started enforcing their copywrite on it

Thanks Brie and yeah I heard about the flood disclosure addition. What I really meant to ask in my previous post was why the secrecy of sharing the 2025 lease when sharing in the below posts for previous years seemed welcomed with open arms.

Oddly enough, my question was answered in the below post by Nathan Gesner, but I'm still curious about the above posts

I had a friend send me a copy, but what's different with the 2025 lease as opposed to the previous versions?

Brie Schmidt · Answer

Every year the city sets the interest rate that has to be included. This year you also have to include a flooding disclosure

Jonathan Klemm · Answer

We stopped sharing the Chicago lease as well @Lee Burns. If you have an agent (who is a member of CAR) that you are working with regularly they should be able to share it with you though.

Brie Schmidt · Answer

It can not be shared as it is a copywritten document and owned by the Chicago Association of Realtors. It can only be used by association members
