Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Illinois

Can my landlord kick out my roommate. He has lived here going on 3yrs now. I got a letter in the mail. Just in my mail box that said he had to get out. It gave him 10 days. She said he wasn't on the lease and had to leave. We have talked to her both by phone and in person. For the past 2.5 yrs. And she never got the paper work to us like she said she would. We live in a mobile home park. I own my home and rent the lot. Help my roommate has no where to go. And my dgt and I really don't want to see him go. Is there anything we can do?

In short, yes, but whether the letter constitutes proper notice depends on a variety of factors including whether the lease provided for it and the landlord may still be required to serve statutory notice regardless, before filing an actual eviction case. What can you do? (a) Take the lease and letter to an attorney to review and get an action plan that could include talking to the landlord, (b) Talk to the landlord before seeing an attorney and see if there's something you can work out, and if so see an attorney anyway to make sure the plan protects you and your room mate before fully committing to it.
