Deposit limits and notice periods below come from the Illinois dataset, not independent Riverdale ordinances. A rental in this market may be subject to additional municipal rules or exceptions. Confirm the exact address and applicable jurisdiction with the relevant office.
Illinois: Security deposits
No statutory limit on the deposit amount (Illinois AG: 'there is no legal limit').
Interest required only for buildings/complexes of 25+ units and deposits held 6 months or longer; rate published annually by IDFPR (Security Deposit Interest Act, 765 ILCS 715). No interest under state law for buildings under 25 units.
The uploaded dataset lists a deposit-return period of 45 days. Review the cited rule for the applicable conditions and timing.
Illinois: Notices and tenancy endings
5-day written demand for rent for nonpayment (735 ILCS 5/9-209); paying within 5 days defeats termination. Lease-violation evictions use a 10-day notice.
30 days' written notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy (735 ILCS 5/9-207); year-to-year 60 days; week-to-week 7 days.
Court listed in the supplied dataset: Circuit Court (Eviction Article, 735 ILCS 5 Art. IX).
Illinois: Rent regulation
No rent control; the Rent Control Preemption Act (50 ILCS 825) bars local governments from controlling rent.
Illinois: Licensing and registration
No statewide residential rental license; imposed municipally in some cities (e.g., Chicago).
Illinois: Lease disclosures and receipts
Lead paint (federal, pre-1978)
No general statewide rent-receipt requirement identified; local ordinances (e.g., Chicago RLTO) may require receipts.
