Of the 320 new Illinois laws on the books starting in 2024, several affect landlords throughout the state.
One of the measures taking effect in 2024 is House Bill 1541, which will prevent utility company shutoffs when the weather is warmer than 85 degrees rather than 95.
Senate Bill 1741 is the Security Deposit Return Act, which requires landlords to provide tenants with itemized bills.
Another going into effect has to do electronic payments, according to Paul Arena with the Illinois Rental Property Owners Association.
Arena says the law will help older tenants primarily using paper checks or cash.
Another new initiative requires landlords to keep the temperature of all common areas between 67 and 73 degrees.
