    Does Long-Term Residence in a Hotel Give You Rights as a Tenant
    An Illinois resident has been living in a hotel for eight months, and has fallen behind on his payments. The hotel wants him out immediately, but he believes he has rights as a tenant. What are his rights to being given a pay or quit notice, and being evicted, as opposed to being locked out of his room?

    If the tenant has been paying weekly or monthly rent, the tenant may have rights as a tenant as a result of those periodic payments. For example, Chicago has an ordinance that gives protection to long-term residents (>31 days in residence) of a hotel or motel who pays rent on a month-by-month basis. However, when a hotel or motel charges by the day, Illinois does not appear to provide any special protection based upon long-term residence.
