Effective January 1, 2026, the Summary of Rights for Safer Homes Act requires landlords (owners of the building or someone working for them to rent residences) to provide a summary of rights to all Illinois residential tenants as the first page of their written lease, whether the lease is new or a renewal.
A summary as well as FAQs can be found on the Illinois Department of Human Rights website at: https://dhr.illinois.gov/legal/summary-of-rights-for-safer-homes-act.html
