Illinois Statutes Chapter 765. Property § 752/5. Legislative intent

§ 5. Legislative intent. The purpose of this Act is to promote the State's interest in enabling more victims of domestic or sexual violence and their families to become timely aware of the existing housing protections they have under 6 Illinois statutes and how to exercise their rights under these statutes. By requiring that a summary of these rights appear on page 1 of each residential lease, more tenants will become timely aware of these rights and how to exercise them. This will lead to safer homes and greater financial security for more victims of domestic or sexual violence and their families.
