Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Illinois
Small Claims Against Landlord
My parents obtained a default judgement against their previous landlord for their security deposit. He didn't show up to court. After 30 days, they filed wage deduction notice & summons. Now after 30 days, they received court paperwork filed by the previous landlord. It is a motion to vacate judgement pursuant to statute. What does this mean? Will it work if the judge knows he skipped out on the last appearance? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Small Claims Against Landlord
If he was properly served it would be very hard for him to vacate a judgment after 30 days.
If he was not properly served, he will be able to vacate the judgment.
