Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Code of Civil Procedure. Provides that a gang-related activity, as defined by the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act, is a sufficient basis to terminate a lessee's lease. Provides a procedure and standards for a person who resides, works, or owns property in a building, or a neighbor within a 2-block radius of the building, to report that a tenant in the building is using leased premises in gang-related activity. Provides that this person may give notice of the tenant's gang-related activity and demand that the landlord commence an investigation and a wrongful entry and detainer action. Provides that if the landlord, after receipt of a notice and demand, refuses to investigate or finds no such activity, that the person who issued the notice and demand may petition the court under these provisions to determine if gang-related activity is occurring at the tenant's leased premises, and if so, to order the tenant to vacate the premises. Provides remedies to the prevailing party in an action initiated pursuant to these provisions by a person other than the landlord, in the form of an award of costs and attorney's fees.
