Eviction for non-rent Reason - Attorney Recommendation
We have horrible tenants. They've violated a number of clauses from our lease agreement.
They smoke inside the unit, they've stolen packages from other tenants, they have explosives (fireworks) left in the hallway, they have both hallways blocked with personal items, they are trying to blackmail us by withholding rent so that we extend their lease until 2022. I had a tenant recently leave because they are noisy in the middle of the night and the previous tenant had filed a police report for stolen packages. Ofcourse every month has been painful to collect rent from them because they have threaten us multiple times that they will live rent free until their lease agreement is over.
Today I had to file my own police report for this couple because they stole my father's cell phone as he was helping me paint the 2nd floor apartment. This couple actually admitted to stealing it and produced the cell phone when the police insisted that they return it and that it was wrong.
We plan to file a criminal and eviction case. If anyone can please recommend an eviction attorney in the city of Chicago, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

@Account Closed I am sorry to hear about the tough time you have had with your tenant. It is sad that so many bad apples are out there taking advantage during this pandemic. I have an attorney I can PM you. Let me know if you still need one. He has done several evictions for me and for my clients.
