Q: Can I evict tenants who only paid rent twice since the moved in my building in April 2015 ,they also hasn't change the
Utility saying they can't get them in their name because they owed outstanding bills.
A:
You can certainly evict tenants who have missed rent payments. You will first need to serve them with the notice that is proper under Illinois law, as well as any possible local ordinances (i.e. - in Chicago or Evanston). The contents and service of the notice are highly technical, however, and should handled by an experienced landlord tenant attorney. The eviction process is complicated as well, so you would do best to contact a local landlord tenant attorney to discuss your needs. Many offer free consultations and some will even handle your case for a flat fee.
Best of luck to you.
