Illinois Tenants Union

Illinois Tenants Union believes all persons have a right to safe, decent, affordable housing and we work with tenants to assist in break Lease, eviction, security deposit and repairs in Chicago, Cook County, and Metro Chicago, Illinois.

About the Illinois Tenant Union:

In 1976, we first organized in Evanston under the name Tenants Organization of Evanston. 

In 1984, we organized the Tenants Organization of Illinois to serve tenants who lived in Mount Prospect and elsewhere. 

In 1988, we founded the Illinois Tenants Union and relocated our office to Chicago with the intention of directly assisting Chicago tenants as well as tenants throughout the Chicago metropolitan area. 
 
Today, about 8,000 tenants a year call us for information about their rights or for assistance with problems with their landlords. It is true that lack of legal knowledge is a major problem.
