You cannot be evicted if someone assaults you. You can only be evicted for breach of the rental agreement. There is a good general pro se assistance desk located at the Daley Center that may be able to help. You can also contact Chicago Volunteer Legal Services and see if they may be able to help you.

Just as an aside, it is not the best idea to reveal your name here. Lawguru may protect some of your privacy, but it's better to be safe.
