The 2016 Final Legislative Report for Illinois Investors is courtesy of the Illinois Rental Property Owners Association (IRPOA).
As a board member of the IRPOA I am glad to serve and pass this information along to you. I would also like to extend my thanks to fellow Board members Jane Garvey, Paul Arena and Andrew Timms for their tireless efforts to protect the rights of landlords, property managers and real estate investors.
This spring – 3441 Senate Bills and 6599 House Bills were introduced by the Illinois Legislature. There were also approximately 4000 resolutions and amendments.
More details on each law or bill can be found at the Illinois State website at www.ilga.gov
So if you think your elected officials don’t do anything, think again. The problem is they frequently do more harm than good.
