The Second District of the Illinois Appellate Court in the case VG Marina Management Corp. v. Wiener (2-05-0610) affirmed a landlord’s right to obtain a judgment for attorneys fees pursuant to the Chicago Residential Landlord Tenant Ordinance. The case came up a second time on remand from the Illinois Supreme Court and the court decided that the landlord was not entitled to attorney’s fees because the landlord did not plead in any portion of the CRLTO. Stay tuned, as we may be seeing more on this case in the future.
