24 | | the registry has materially changed since submission, the |
25 | | lender, assignee, or mortgage loan servicer shall make an |
26 | | amended submission to the registry not later than 30 days after |
|
| | HB3058 | - 8 - | LRB101 10528 LNS 55634 b |
|
|
1 | | the lender, assignee, or mortgage loan servicer learns, or |
2 | | reasonably should have learned, of the new or changed |
3 | | information. |
4 | | (c) The Department shall establish and maintain a toll-free |
5 | | hotline that a neighbor of residential property that is, or |
6 | | appears to be, abandoned residential property may use to report |
7 | | to the Department any hazards, blights, or other concerns |
8 | | related to the property. The Department shall include on its |
9 | | official public website information about the toll-free |
10 | | hotline. |
11 | | Section 25. Violations; enforcement. |
12 | | (a) An allegation of a violation of this Act may be heard |
13 | | before a hearing officer or a court of competent jurisdiction. |
14 | | If the mortgagee or agent of the mortgagee has violated this |
15 | | Act, a civil penalty may be imposed by the hearing officer or |
16 | | the court in the amount of up to $500 per day per property for |
17 | | each day the violation persisted. |
18 | | The Secretary, or his or her designee, may, as appropriate |
19 | | and in his or her discretion, pursue any suspected violation of |
20 | | this Act. Before taking such action, the Secretary, or his or |
21 | | her designee, shall give the lender, assignee, or mortgage loan |
22 | | servicer at least 7 days' notice of the violation. |
23 | | The municipality in which the residential property is |
24 | | located may file an action to enforce the obligations described |
25 | | in this Act in any court of competent jurisdiction after at |
|
| | HB3058 | - 9 - | LRB101 10528 LNS 55634 b |
|
|
1 | | least 7 days' notice to the lender, assignee, or mortgage loan |
2 | | servicer, unless the property requires emergency repairs to |
3 | | address a threat to public health, safety, or welfare, in which |
4 | | case the municipality may enter and maintain the property to |
5 | | cure the emergency; however, notice shall be provided to the |
6 | | lender, assignee, or mortgage loan servicer as soon as |
7 | | practicable. Any municipality acting pursuant to this |
8 | | subsection may bring an action in any court of competent |
9 | | jurisdiction against the lender, assignee, or mortgage loan |
10 | | servicer to recover costs incurred as a result of maintaining |
11 | | the property. The municipality shall provide the Division of |
12 | | Banking with written notice at least 10 days prior to bringing |
13 | | an action pursuant to this subsection; however, failure to |
14 | | comply with this notice requirement shall not be a defense to |
15 | | an allegation in a proceeding brought pursuant to this |
16 | | subsection. The authority provided by this subsection is in |
17 | | addition to, and is not deemed to diminish or reduce, any |
18 | | rights of the parties described in this Act under existing law |
19 | | against the mortgagor of the property for failure to maintain |
20 | | the property. Any civil penalty imposed pursuant to this |
21 | | subsection in an action brought by a municipality shall be |
22 | | retained by the municipality. |
23 | | (b) A lender, assignee, or mortgage loan servicer who |
24 | | peacefully enters an abandoned property in order to maintain it |
25 | | pursuant to this Act shall be immune from liability if the |
26 | | lender, assignee, or mortgage loan servicer is making |
|
| | HB3058 | - 10 - | LRB101 10528 LNS 55634 b |
|
|
1 | | reasonable efforts to comply with this Act. |
2 | | (c) This Act is subject to federal laws, court orders, and |
3 | | investor and insurer guidelines. |
4 | | (d) For all State or federally chartered banks, savings |
5 | | banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, or |
6 | | servicers for which the provisions of this Act do not apply, |
7 | | any agreement between a State or federally chartered bank, |
8 | | savings bank, savings and loan association, credit union, or |
9 | | servicer and the Division of Banking that is associated with |
10 | | the maintenance and repair of abandoned property shall remain |
11 | | in full force and effect for so long as the terms and |
12 | | conditions of the agreement remain in effect. |
13 | | (e) The Division of Banking shall adopt any rules necessary |
14 | | to implement the terms of this Act, including, but not limited |
15 | | to, rules pertaining to the reporting of financial information |
16 | | that State or federally chartered banks, savings banks, savings |
17 | | and loan associations, or credit unions must provide to |
18 | | implement this Act.
|
19 | | Section 30. Home rule limitations. A home rule unit shall |
20 | | not impose a duty to maintain abandoned property in a manner |
21 | | inconsistent with the provisions of this Act that are related |
22 | | to maintenance as provided under subsections (c), (d), (e), |
23 | | (f), and (g) of Section 15, or establish related penalties or |
24 | | other monetary obligations, with respect to a State or |

| | HB3058 | - 11 - | LRB101 10528 LNS 55634 b |
|
|
1 | | association, or credit union that originates, owns, services or |
2 | | maintains a mortgage related to the property. A home rule unit |
3 | | shall not impose a duty to maintain abandoned property upon any |
4 | | State or federally chartered bank, savings bank, savings and |
5 | | loan association, or credit union that is not subject to this |
6 | | Act. This subsection is a limitation under subsection (i) of |
7 | | Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent |
8 | | exercise by home rule units of powers and functions exercised |
9 | | by the State. |
10 | | Section 35. The Code of Civil Procedure is amended by |
11 | | changing Sections 15-1701 and 15-1702 as follows:
|
12 | | (735 ILCS 5/15-1701) (from Ch. 110, par. 15-1701)
|
13 | | Sec. 15-1701. Right to possession.
|
14 | | (a) General. The provisions of
this Article shall govern |
15 | | the right to possession of the mortgaged real
estate during |
16 | | foreclosure. Possession under this Article includes physical
|
17 | | possession of the mortgaged real estate to the same extent to |
18 | | which the
mortgagor, absent the foreclosure, would have been |
19 | | entitled to physical
possession. For the purposes of Part 17, |
20 | | real estate is residential real estate
only if it is |
21 | | residential real estate at the time the foreclosure is |
22 | | commenced.
|
23 | | (b) Pre-Judgment. Prior to the entry of a judgment of |
24 | | foreclosure:
|
|
| | HB3058 | - 12 - | LRB101 10528 LNS 55634 b |
|
|
1 | | (1) In the case of residential real estate, the |
2 | | mortgagor shall be
entitled to possession of the real |
3 | | estate except if (i) the mortgagee shall
object and show |
4 | | good cause, (ii) the mortgagee is so authorized by the |
5 | | terms of
the mortgage or other written instrument, and |
6 | | (iii) the court is satisfied that
there is a reasonable |
7 | | probability that the mortgagee will prevail on a final
|
8 | | hearing of the cause, the court shall upon request place |
9 | | the mortgagee in
possession. If the residential real estate |
10 | | consists of more than one dwelling
unit, then for the |
11 | | purpose of this Part residential real estate shall mean |
12 | | only
that dwelling unit or units occupied by persons |
13 | | described in clauses (i), (ii)
and (iii) of Section |
14 | | 15-1219.
|
15 | | (1.5) The mortgagor may take possession of the real |
16 | | estate for the purposes of compliance with the Abandoned |
17 | | Residential Property Act. |
18 | | (2) In all other cases, if (i) the mortgagee is so |
19 | | authorized by the
terms of the mortgage or other written |
20 | | instrument, and (ii) the court is
satisfied that there is a |
21 | | reasonable probability that the mortgagee will
prevail on a |
22 | | final hearing of the cause, the mortgagee shall
upon |
23 | | request be placed in possession of the real estate, except |
24 | | that if the
mortgagor shall object and show good cause, the |
25 | | court shall allow the
mortgagor to remain in possession.
|
26 | | (c) Judgment Through 30 Days After Sale Confirmation. After |
|
| | HB3058 | - 13 - | LRB101 10528 LNS 55634 b |
|
|
1 | | the entry
of a judgment of foreclosure and through the 30th day |
2 | | after a foreclosure
sale is confirmed:
|
3 | | (1) Subsection (b) of Section 15-1701 shall be |
4 | | applicable, regardless of
the provisions of the mortgage or |
5 | | other instrument, except that after a
sale pursuant to the |
6 | | judgment the holder of the certificate of sale
(or, if |
7 | | none, the purchaser at the sale) shall have the mortgagee's |
8 | | right to be
placed in possession, with all rights and |
9 | | duties of a mortgagee in possession
under this Article.
|
10 | | (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of subsection (b) |
11 | | and paragraph (1) of
subsection (c) of Section 15-1701, |
12 | | upon request of the mortgagee, a mortgagor
of residential |
13 | | real estate shall not be allowed to remain in possession |
14 | | between
the expiration of the redemption period and through |
15 | | the 30th day after sale
confirmation unless (i) the |
16 | | mortgagor pays to the mortgagee or such holder or
|
17 | | purchaser, whichever is applicable, monthly the lesser of |
18 | | the interest due
under the mortgage calculated at the |
19 | | mortgage rate of interest applicable as if
no default had |
20 | | occurred or the fair rental value of the real estate, or |
21 | | (ii)
the mortgagor otherwise shows good cause. Any amounts |
22 | | paid by the mortgagor
pursuant to this subsection shall be |
23 | | credited against the amounts due from the
mortgagor.
|
24 | | (d) After 30 Days After Sale Confirmation. The holder of
|
25 | | the certificate of sale or deed issued pursuant to that |
26 | | certificate or, if
no certificate or deed was issued, the |
|
| | HB3058 | - 14 - | LRB101 10528 LNS 55634 b |

holder or purchaser may |
2 | | consent otherwise, shall be entitled to possession of
the |
3 | | mortgaged real estate, as of the date 30 days after the order |
4 | | confirming
the sale is entered, against those parties to the |
5 | | foreclosure whose interests
the court has ordered terminated, |
6 | | without further notice to any party, further
order of the |
7 | | court, or resort to proceedings under any other statute other |
8 | | than
this Article.
This right to possession shall be limited by |
9 | | the provisions
governing entering and enforcing orders of |
10 | | possession under subsection (g) of
Section
15-1508.
If the |
11 | | holder or purchaser determines that there are occupants
of the |
12 | | mortgaged real estate who have not been made parties to the |
13 | | foreclosure
and had their interests terminated therein, the |
14 | | holder or purchaser may bring an eviction
proceeding under |
15 | | subsection (h) of this Section, if applicable, or under Article |
16 | | IX of this Code
to terminate the rights of possession of any |
17 | | such occupants. The holder or
purchaser shall not be entitled |
18 | | to proceed against any such occupant under
Article IX of this |
19 | | Code until after 30 days after the order confirming the sale
is |
20 | | entered.
|
21 | | (e) Termination of Leases. A lease of all or any part of |
22 | | the mortgaged
real estate shall not be terminated automatically |
23 | | solely by virtue of the entry
into possession by (i) a |
24 | | mortgagee or receiver prior to the entry of an order
confirming |
25 | | the sale, (ii) the holder of the certificate of sale, (iii) the
|
26 | | holder of the deed issued pursuant to that certificate, or (iv) |

2 | | sale.
|
3 | | (f) Other Statutes; Instruments. The provisions of this |
4 | | Article
providing for possession of mortgaged real estate shall |
5 | | supersede any other
inconsistent statutory provisions. In |
6 | | particular, and without limitation,
whenever a receiver is |
7 | | sought to be appointed in any action in which a
foreclosure is |
8 | | also pending, a receiver shall be appointed only in
accordance |
9 | | with this Article. Except as may be authorized by this Article,
|
10 | | no mortgage or other instrument may modify or supersede the |
11 | | provisions of this
Article.

22 | | estate under Section
15-1703, a receiver appointed under |
23 | | Section 15-1704, a holder of the
certificate of sale or |
24 | | deed, or the purchaser may, at any time during the
pendency |
25 | | of the foreclosure and up to 90 days after the date of the |
26 | | order
confirming the sale,
file a supplemental eviction |
|
| | HB3058 | - 16 - | LRB101 10528 LNS 55634 b |
|
|
1 | | petition against a person not personally
named as a party
|
2 | | to the foreclosure. This subsection (h) does not apply to |
3 | | any lessee with a bona fide lease of a dwelling unit in |
4 | | residential real estate in foreclosure. |
5 | | (2) The supplemental eviction petition shall name each |
6 | | such
occupant against whom an eviction order is sought and |
7 | | state the facts upon which the
claim for relief is |
8 | | premised.
|
9 | | (3) The petitioner shall serve upon each named occupant |
10 | | the petition,
a notice of hearing on the petition, and, if |
11 | | any, a copy of the certificate of
sale or deed. The |
12 | | eviction proceeding, including service of the notice of the |
13 | | hearing and the petition,
shall in all respects comport |
14 | | with the requirements of Article IX of this Code,
except as |
15 | | otherwise specified in this Section. The hearing shall be |
16 | | no less
than 21 days from the date of service of the |
17 | | notice.
|
18 | | (4) The supplemental petition shall be heard as part of |
19 | | the foreclosure
proceeding and without the payment of |
20 | | additional filing fees. An eviction order obtained under |
21 | | this Section shall name each occupant whose interest
has |
22 | | been terminated, shall recite that it is only effective as |
23 | | to the occupant
so named and those holding under them, and |
24 | | shall be enforceable for no more
than 120 days after its |
25 | | entry, except that the 120-day period may be extended to
|
26 | | the extent and in the manner provided in Section 9-117 of |
|
| | HB3058 | - 17 - | LRB101 10528 LNS 55634 b |
|
|
1 | | Article IX and except as provided in item (5) of this |
2 | | subsection (h). |
3 | | (5) In a case of foreclosure where the occupant is |
4 | | current on his or her rent, or where timely written notice |
5 | | of to whom and where the rent is to be paid has not been |
6 | | provided to the occupant, or where the occupant has made |
7 | | good-faith efforts to make rental payments in order to keep |
8 | | current, any eviction order must allow the occupant to |
9 | | retain possession of the property covered in his or her |
10 | | rental agreement (i) for 120 days following the notice of |
11 | | the hearing on the supplemental petition that has been |
12 | | properly served upon the occupant, or (ii) through the |
13 | | duration of his or her lease, whichever is shorter, |
14 | | provided that if the duration of his or her lease is less |
15 | | than 30 days from the date of the order, the order shall |
16 | | allow the occupant to retain possession for 30 days from |
17 | | the date of the order. A mortgagee in possession, receiver, |
18 | | holder of a certificate of sale or deed, or purchaser at |
19 | | the judicial sale, who asserts that the occupant is not |
20 | | current in rent, shall file an affidavit to that effect in |
21 | | the supplemental petition proceeding. If the occupant has |
22 | | been given timely written notice of to whom and where the |
23 | | rent is to be paid, this item (5) shall only apply if the |
24 | | occupant continues to pay his or her rent in full during |
25 | | the 120-day period or has made good-faith efforts to pay |
26 | | the rent in full during that period.

1 | | (6) The court records relating to a supplemental |
2 | | eviction petition filed under this subsection (h) against |
3 | | an occupant who is entitled to notice under item (5) of |
4 | | this subsection (h), or relating to an eviction action |
5 | | brought against an occupant who would have lawful |
6 | | possession of the premises but for the foreclosure of a |
7 | | mortgage on the property, shall be ordered sealed and shall |
8 | | not be disclosed to any person, other than a law |
9 | | enforcement officer or any other representative of a |
10 | | governmental entity, except upon further order of the |
11 | | court.
|
12 | | (i) Termination of bona fide leases. The holder of the |
13 | | certificate of sale, the holder of the deed issued pursuant to |
14 | | that certificate, or, if no certificate or deed was issued, the |
15 | | purchaser at the sale shall not terminate a bona fide lease of |
16 | | a dwelling unit in residential real estate in foreclosure |
17 | | except pursuant to Article IX of this Code. |

19 | | (735 ILCS 5/15-1702) (from Ch. 110, par. 15-1702)
|
20 | | Sec. 15-1702. Specific Rules of Possession. (a) |
21 | | Mortgagee's Rights. Except as necessary to comply with the |
22 | | Abandoned Residential Property Act, no No
mortgagee shall be |
23 | | required to take possession of the mortgaged real
estate, |
24 | | whether upon application made by any other party or otherwise.
|
25 | | Whenever a mortgagee entitled to possession so requests, the |
|
| | HB3058 | - 19 - | LRB101 10528 LNS 55634 b |
|
|
1 | | court shall
appoint a receiver. The failure of a mortgagee to |
2 | | request possession or
appointment of a receiver shall not |
3 | | preclude a mortgagee otherwise entitled
to possession from |
4 | | making such a request at any future time.
The appointment of a |
5 | | receiver shall not preclude a mortgagee from thereafter
seeking |
6 | | to exercise such mortgagee's right to be placed in possession.
|
7 | | (b) Designation of Receivers. Whenever a receiver is to be |
8 | | appointed,
the mortgagee shall be entitled to designate the |
9 | | receiver. If the mortgagor or
any other party to the |
10 | | foreclosure objects to any such designation
or designations and |
11 | | shows good cause, or the court disapproves the
designee, the |
12 | | mortgagee in such instance shall
be entitled to make another |
13 | | designation.
|
14 | | (c) Rights of Mortgagee Having Priority. If a mortgagee |
15 | | having priority
objects to the proposed possession by a |
16 | | subordinate mortgagee or by a receiver
designated by the |
17 | | subordinate mortgagee, upon entry of a finding in accordance
|
18 | | with subsection (d) of Section 15-1702 the court shall instead |
19 | | place that
objecting mortgagee in possession or, if a receiver |
20 | | is to be designated in
accordance with subsection (b) of |
21 | | Section 15-1702, allow the designation of
the receiver to be |
22 | | made by that objecting mortgagee.
|
23 | | (d) Removal of Mortgagee in Possession. A mortgagee placed |
24 | | in possession
shall not be removed from possession, and no |
25 | | receiver or other mortgagee
shall be placed in possession |
26 | | except upon (i) the mortgagee's misconduct,
death, legal |
|
| | HB3058 | - 20 - | LRB101 10528 LNS 55634 b |
|
|
1 | | disability or other inability to act, (ii) appointment of a
|
2 | | receiver in accordance with subsection (a) of Section 15-1704 |
3 | | or (iii) a
showing of good cause by a mortgagee having |
4 | | priority. A receiver shall not
be removed solely on account of |
5 | | being designated by a mortgagee later
determined not to have |
6 | | priority.
|
7 | | (e) Determination of Priority. If the court is required to |
8 | | determine
priority for the purposes of subsection (c) of |
9 | | Section 15-1702, a new
determination shall be made each time a |
10 | | mortgagee is to be placed in
possession or a receiver is to be |
11 | | appointed and shall be an interim
determination which shall not |
12 | | preclude the court from making a contrary
determination later |
13 | | in the foreclosure. If the court subsequently shall
make such a |
14 | | contrary determination, a mortgagee in possession or acting
|
15 | | receiver shall not be removed except in accordance with Part 17 |
16 | | of this Article.
|
17 | | (f) Rights to Crops. With respect to any crops growing or |
18 | | to be grown
on the mortgaged real estate, the rights of a |
19 | | holder of any obligation
secured by a collateral assignment of |
20 | | beneficial interest in a land trust,
the rights of a mortgagee |
21 | | in possession, or the rights of a receiver,
including rights by |
22 | | virtue of an equitable lien, shall be subject to a
security |
23 | | interest properly perfected pursuant to
Article 9 of the |
24 | | Uniform Commercial Code, where the holder of a
collateral |
25 | | assignment, mortgagee in possession, or receiver becomes
|
26 | | entitled to crops by obtaining possession on or after the |
