Defending Renters in the Windy City
Empowering Tenants Since 2009
At Chicago Tenants Rights Law, we stand firmly on the side of renters. Founded by attorney Charles Drennen, our firm is dedicated exclusively to protecting the rights of tenants living in Chicago. We understand that navigating the Chicago Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance (RLTO) can be confusing and intimidating. That is why we are here to provide clear, aggressive representation against landlords who violate the law. Whether you are dealing with a withheld security deposit, illegal eviction, or unsafe living conditions, you need to find a lawyer who knows every detail of local housing regulations. We have successfully handled thousands of cases, recovering millions of dollars for our clients. 🏙️
Comprehensive Tenant Advocacy
We specialize in solving the most common and stressful problems tenants face. If you are looking to hire an attorney to fight for your home and your money, we are the experts you need. Our practice focuses on:
- Security Deposit Recovery: We help you get your deposit back, often with double damages for RLTO violations.
- Eviction Defense: Protecting you from unlawful lockouts and retaliation.
- Lease Breaking: Guiding you through the legal process of terminating your lease early without penalty.
- Habitability Issues: holding landlords accountable for pests, lack of heat, and other maintenance failures.
No Out-of-Pocket Fees for Many Cases
We believe that justice should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. For many security deposit and RLTO violation cases, the law requires the landlord to pay your legal fees. This means you can often book a lawyer with us at no cost to you. We work on a contingency basis for these matters—we only get paid if we win. Our goal is to level the playing field between landlords and tenants. 🤝
