Illinois Lead-Based Paint Disclosure
This Lead-Based Paint Disclosure is built with Illinois as the governing state. These are the Illinois landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.
Illinois rules at a glance
| Lead paint | Federal Title X applies to pre-1978 housing — disclosure, records, the EPA pamphlet, and signed acknowledgments. Illinois adds no state-level equivalent. |
|---|---|
| Landlord entry | No statutory minimum — the lease controls (Chicago requires 48 hours) |
Landlord entry & access
Illinois has no statute setting a minimum notice period for landlord entry. Neither the Landlord and Tenant Act nor any other state act specifies hours or days, so courts apply a general standard of reasonable notice, at a reasonable time, for a reasonable purpose. Twenty-four hours is commonly treated as reasonable in practice, but it is not codified — any hour figure in an Illinois lease is a contract term, not a statutory rule.
Chicago is the exception: the RLTO requires at least 48 hours’ notice for non-emergency entry. Self-help is never permitted anywhere in Illinois — forcible entry and detainer is the exclusive route to possession, and only the sheriff may remove a tenant under a court order.
Required disclosures
Illinois requires fewer lease disclosures than states like California, but the ones it has are specific.
- Radon — For units below the third story, the landlord must provide the IEMA-OHS “Radon Guide for Tenants” pamphlet, the radon disclosure form, and any known hazard records. Landlords are not required to test (420 ILCS 46/10, 46/15).
- Shared utilities — Where a utility is master-metered or shared, the written allocation formula must be given to the tenant before any payment is demanded (765 ILCS 740/5). Bill first and the charge cannot be enforced.
- Smoke & CO alarms — Operating smoke alarms are required (425 ILCS 60), and a carbon monoxide alarm must sit within 15 feet of every sleeping room (430 ILCS 135).
- Lead paint — Federal Title X applies to pre-1978 housing — disclosure, records, the EPA pamphlet, and signed acknowledgments. Illinois adds no state-level equivalent.
- No flood or bedbug rule — Illinois has no statewide flood-history or bedbug disclosure statute. Chicago and Evanston impose bedbug duties by ordinance.
