A landlord-tenant attorney handles issues pertaining to the rental of commercial and residential property. Some common examples include helping evict a tenant, dealing with disputes over security deposits and attempts to terminate a lease for a wide variety of reasons.

Most of Illinois law in this area is governed by the Illinois Landlord-Tenant Act and/or local rules such as the Chicago Landlord Tenant Ordinance. These Acts provide guidelines for both landlords and tenants as to what they can and can not do.

The attorneys that represent landlords typically charge by the hour and occasionally will charge a flat fee for an evictions.
