What utilities do tenants and landlords typically pay in the Chicago area?

Depends on the building. For multifamily buildings landlords typically pay water/sewer and electricity for common areas (basements, stairwells, exteriors, etc.) If the entire building is heated from a single boiler, landlords pay that bill too.
Tenants pay for anything separated for their unit (usually gas and electricity).
