Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

Purchasing building with unwanted tenants

I am in teh process of purchasing a 2-flat that i plan to use as a personal "single-family" house.

we had been informed that the remaining tenants (1st floor) would be out by closing. Just recently we have been told this is false.

According to the chicago RLTO 5-12-020 my building (as an owner occupied dwelling of 6 or less units) is excluded from that ordinance.

What laws apply for evicting the tenants (state or federal) and is there anything short of 30-day notice that i can do because of this exclusion

day notice is your best method

of getting the tenant(s) to

move.
