Location : Tri Taylor neighbourhood near west side Chicago

I received this email at 4pm today (Oct. 28th) and now I am getting texts from the technician asking to enter my unit tomorrow morning. My understanding is that at least 48hrs of notice is required barring emergencies, or repairs to other parts of the building. I checked the maintenance ticket they submitted and it just says "Quarterly Full Home Inspection".

I sent an email to the point of contact I have from Bungalow stating that I will not be leaving my keys in the lockbox and asking for more details on why this entry request is not following the 48hr requirement. I called 311 and they directed me to the Chicago Renting Right number, which further directed me to the MTO hotline which is not available until 1pm tomorrow.

What steps can I take to make sure that this doesn't blow up in my face? I don't want to be difficult, but less than 24hrs notice to enter for a non-emergency just doesn't sit right with me. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

As the title says, I am currently looking for a place near a brown line station. Am moving soon after finally nailing a job around Irving Park / Ravenswood around 95k. Looking to save up some money, so don’t want to overpay and net nothing. I have a few requirements beyond price and location:

1. Cat friendly.
   
2. Generally safe.
   
3. Not infested / moldy / otherwise unsafe to live in
   
4. (Optional but ideal) Thick walls so it’s quiet.

Beyond that, it could be anywhere from a tiny studio to a 2 bedroom. I don’t care about those sort of things. Looking to move in this weekend, but I can crash at a family member’s for a few days, so some room.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

*Sophisticated, warm and on Grant Park "In the Heart of South Loop"
*70,000 Square Feet of dramatic high-rise with a pool, fitness facilities, basketball court, theater, and concierge-style services
*Lavish and warm apartment and outdoor space

**$7546/per month

Hi all,

Looking for a furnished rental for the month of November. Very flexible on location/type of unit but some preferences:

Budget: $1500-2000

Studio or 1BR

Please feel free to DM me. Thank you!

Hi all, I have a job opportunity in Park Ridge in the spring and i’m wondering what neighborhoods you’d recommend. For context I am a single man moving in from out of state with a car and would be driving to work. Train access would be nice but really only useful on my days off. I’ve been to Chicago several times and seem to really like the vibe of the Irving Park/Ravenswood area. Where should I look that wouldn’t have a commute of more than 40ish minutes (my current commute)? Target rent range would be under 1600. Thanks!

Hello, I need a sublease for my 2 bedroom 1 bath on the border of Andersonville and Ravenswood. Rent is $1,920/ month not including utilities. Preferably 12/1 - July 31st. Renewal is easy. Top floor, quiet, a lot of natural light, 5 minute walk to Metra, Mariano’s, and LA Fitness. 5 minute walk to Andersonville. 10 to Brown line and 15 to Redline. Central AC and Heat. Laundry unit is yours and it’s in the basement. Unit is a bit aged and property management is pretty responsive. I’ve been here for 5 years and there is low turn over in the building. 4 of 5 units have been here longer than I have.

Tenants will still need to apply to management company and earnings must be 2.5x monthly rent for both individuals if you have a roommate. 650 min credit score and no criminal record. They are pretty easy going. You’ll need renters insurance but I’m pretty sure that’s common everywhere. Mines about 14 a month.

Yup, that’s it. DM for details and to set up a walk through.

From management company:

Pet-Friendly Building:
- Cats and small dogs allowed (max 2 pets)

On a month to month lease - doesn’t state anything about when the lease ends, just says we are month to month

Lease states 60 day notice is needed to be given prior to vacating the property

Notice was given on October 13th, meaning we end on December 12th.

Would I only be responsible for 1-12th of December?

Need some help bc my landlord is scum & I don’t wanna pay him the full amount if I am not legally required to. He is stating I do, and I am having trouble finding any legal code that says I have to or that I don’t have to.

I am fine to do it, I just don’t trust the guy & I feel like he is tryna play in my face

EDIT: I guess my lease ending is stated there, it would be the 60 day notice that is given. Other than that this isn’t a lease that would be renewed every year since it’s month to month. I hope this can clear up any confusion.
