Hi,
I’m renting my house and am looking for a good lawyer to review the rental agreement that our realtor shared with us. I want to make sure we’re protecting ourselves. Thanks!

Morgan, I assume you are in the city. If so I would reach out to Verella Osbourne she has one of the most comprehensive Landlord friendly leases I have seen. Personally, I think the CAR lease doesn't do a very good job of protecting the LL, it covers the basics but that is about it.

@Morgan Carroll you’ll pay an attorney at least $250 to review your lease and explain it to you. BP, as part of their pro membership has a number of attorney review and state/city compliant leases available in their toolkit. There is one for Chicago as well. I usually refer my clients to that form.
