Notes from the landlord
This is an example fee page to show landlords and renters what a disclosure looks like. It is not a real listing.
This page lists the fees for this rental as disclosed by the landlord or manager. Under Illinois law, for leases signed on or after January 1, 2027, every required fee must also be on the first page of the lease, and a renter is not liable for a required fee left off page one.
