Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

But for emergency repairs and the like, the Chicago Residential Landlord & Tenant Ordinance says 2 days' prior notice is what's reasonable. And that is only during the last 60 days of the term for showings. But only if the building is more than 3 units where one is owner-occupied. If the Ordinance doesn't cover you, then it's simply what's reasonable.... And that means the landlord also has to consider all factors, including the dog IF it was permitted in the first place. But the question is what can you work with? A few hours? One day? You will have an ongoing relationship and there's your security deposit at the end of the line, right? PS whether the Ordinance applies to your lease or not, your landlord was supposed to supply you with a summary of it when you signed your lease (or took occupancy under an oral lease) and if the landlord didn't there's a $150 penalty.
