How the Illinois eviction process works
A high-level walkthrough of the Illinois eviction process for landlords, from notice through judgment.
Step 1
Proper notice
We prepare and serve the required Illinois notice—such as a demand for rent or a notice terminating the tenancy—based on the reason for eviction and your lease terms.
Step 2
Forcible entry and detainer filing
If the tenant does not comply, we file a forcible entry and detainer action in the appropriate court and ensure pleadings and service meet procedural requirements.
Step 3
Hearing
We appear on your behalf, present the case, and respond to common tenant defenses so the court can decide possession and related claims.
Step 4
Judgment and possession
When judgment is entered, we advise you on next steps to recover possession of the property lawfully and efficiently under Illinois procedures.
