Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Illinois

You can try to prove you didn't make the report, but it sounds like the landlord just wants you out, and will stop at nothing to make trouble for you. If you can't afford to move, then you can try asserting your rights, but you see it is a right not to be evicted because you asserted your tenant rights. Here the landlord knows enough to avoid that trap; instead the landlord is creating a totally different reason to make your life miserable. If the landlord continues this behavior, you could have an attorney write a letter for you to the landlord; at least it may protect you if the landlord then tries something else...since the biggest mistake most people make is not putting things in writing that can protect them later....
