Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois
In CHICAGO IL, is it legal to have the rent due on the LAST DAY OF THE MONTH, with a late fee if rent paid after the first? People keep telling me I have to give them a 5 day grace period. Is this true in 2012?

You can have rent due any day of the month but in a month-to-month or year lease it would normally be due the SAME DAY each month. Whenever you set the payment date, that's when you start clocking the 5 day notice period. Any late fee is a separate issue.
