Creation of new LLC + Heating costs in Chicago

Julie George

Posted

Hi there,

I am a landlord in Chicago and working to send a new lease out to tenants. I have a few questions:

1. I have set up an LLC for the first time, and I am wondering how I go about signing the lease as the landlord? Do I still type my personal name and sign w/ my personal signature or do I reference something along the lines of "Julie george d/b/a LLC name" ? I assume the latter but just want to confirm the mechanics of actually listing the LLC name.

2. There is a Heating Cost Disclosure segment of the standard Chicago lease ad it's asking about a heating cost disclosure.  I am not local to Chicago . Does anyone know what this expected amount is to put in this line ?  Screenshot below for reference

@Julie George

1. I always sign with the LLC name

2.  You need to order it from People's Gas or Comed depending on the heating source.  Each of them have their own forms / process to apply for the disclosure.
