Used For…
The 5-Day Notice to Quit (Illegal Activity) is used by landlords in Illinois to require a tenant to leave a property they are leasing due to illegal activity. This type of eviction is only available if the tenant, during their lease term, is charged with committing an offense on the premises that constitutes a Class X Felony.
Is this Notice Curable?
No, this notice is not curable. This means there is nothing the tenant can do to avoid eviction if they do not move out by the assigned date.
