Cook County RTLO: A Discussion on Compliance and Property-Level Implementation
The Cook County Residential Tenant and Landlord Ordinance ("RTLO") became effective June 1, 2021. The landmark ordinance, passed by the Cook County Board of Commissioners in January, changes the landscape of property management in Cook County. Perhaps most notably, residential leases in suburban Cook need to be evaluated immediately for compliance, and revised as necessary.
In this webinar, attorneys Jessica Ryan (KSN Law) and David Barhydt (Law Offices of David K. Barhydt) will answer:
- What is now prohibited?
- What disclosures are required?
- What should property managers be aware of in terms of lease forms?
CAA encourages any regional managers and property managers dealing with the ordinance in Suburban Cook County to attend.
