Hi Everyone! I want to see if there are any addendums that you add to the Chicago Residential Lease for 2022. Somethings that you've learned from past experiences etc.

@Sandra Pinzon - there is a lot you can do to cover yourself whether you put it in the additional agreements on the first page of the lease or as a separate addendum.
Few boilerplate ones that come to mind.... no smoking in the unit, no structural changes allowed, tenant agrees to adhere to the City of Chicago's noise ordinance, spell out your vacating procedures when moving out, spell out who replaces furnace filters/smoke detectors, lights, only those on the lease can occupy the unit, any specific fees you want to add ($xx if need to change the locks).
If they are bringing a pet you can also add a separate pet addendum listing expectations and responsibilities.

Does anyone have the latest Chicago Residential Lease? I clicked on the link provided by Tom and it didn't work, I also checked Brie's Files and it says her folders are empty.

Hey @Tom Shallcross and @John Warren - are you able to DM that to us as well? Are we still operating off of the 2022 Chicago Lease for 2023? When do they typically release the new year's?

@John Warren and @Tom Shallcross do you mind sharing/ DM the 2022 Chicago Residential Lease? I understand 2023 should be coming out soon but the start date of the lease (CHA) is mid December. Thanks.
