    Default How To Evict My Subtenant

    My question involves a roommate in the State of: Illinois.

    I am the sole entity on the lease with my landlord, and I have a sublease agreement with my roommate. We reside in a two-unit, owner-occupied building, so the Metropolitan Tenant Ordinance within the Chicago/Cook County area does not apply to our property. (Trust me, I've been doing my research, and because this ordinance is not applicable to my building it has been a PAIN to find accurate information.)

    My roommate has been consistently late paying rent--one month he was a week late. I have full documentation of when he has paid rent in the past, including e-mails outlining his refusal to pay on time per the terms of the sublease agreement. His sublease lapses May 31, 2010, and I plan to tell him in the next week (if he doesn't quit avoiding me, that is) that I will not renew his sublease and he must move out by that date. I will be speaking to him in person and also mailing a written notice (overkill, perhaps, but a total CYA move nonetheless).

    What are my rights as a sublessor/quasi-landlord if my roommate refuses to pay rent on time or at all in the next two months? How much notice must I give him to vacate for nonpayment of rent, should he decide to stop paying?

    Thank you so much for your help in advance!

    You need to give him 5 days WRITTEN notice. If he doesn't leave, you'll need to initiate formal eviction charges through the court.

    With respect to terminating his tenancy as of the expiration of the lease, be certain to give him 30 days written notice.

    Thank you! Where did you find that information, just so I have a point of reference?

    I don't know if these are what she was looking at, but here is information on notices (with samples) and a guide to eviction.
