Below, you will find a general example of an Illinois Landlord's Ten Day Notice to terminate a tenancy. The ten day notice is generally prescribed by the Illinois Forcible Entry and Detainer statute as the notice necessary to terminate a tenancy for a tenant's breach of a lease provision. This ten day notice is not for properties covered by the Chicago Residential Landlord Tenant Ordinance. The law relating to the CRLTO and ten day notices is different. The ten day notice must specifically define the portion of the lease being violated and the specific action of the tenant that is a violation of the lease. Be aware that a number of situations can affect, change, or override the time legally required for a five day notice to be valid. Typically, the ten day notice must designate an actual termination date as opposed to a date that can be calculated (ie. such as "five days after service of this notice"). The requirements of the contents that must be included in the ten day notice are technical. Do not attempt to prepare or serve the notice without a knowledge and understanding of the applicable law. This is a form legal document and may or may not be suitable for your situation. Consult an attorney before acting! (Disclaimer)
