(765 ILCS 725/1) (from Ch. 6, par. 9)
Sec. 1.
No contract, agreement or
lease in writing or by parol, by which any lands or tenements therein
are demised or leased by any noncitizen or his agents for the
purpose of farming, cultivation or the raising of crops thereon, shall
contain any provision requiring the tenant or other person for him, to
pay taxes on said lands or tenements, or any part thereof, and all such
provisions, agreements and leases so made are declared void as to the
taxes aforesaid. If any noncitizen landlord or his agents shall receive in
advance or at any other time any sum of money or article of value from
any tenant in lieu of such taxes, directly or indirectly, the same may
be recovered back by such tenant before any court having jurisdiction of
the amount thereof, and all provisions or agreements in writing or
otherwise to pay such taxes shall be held in all courts of this state to
be void.
