Endorse COVID-19 Emergency
Eviction Protections

Housing Action Illinois, Lawyers’ Committee for Better Housing and the Shriver Center on Poverty Law invite you to endorse our current work to pass state legislation creating COVID-19 emergency eviction protections for renters at-risk of losing their home.

The Illinois General Assembly cancelled the planned veto session, but hopefully will convene for a brief "lame duck" session prior to the start of the 2021 session, scheduled for January 13. During any lame duck session, we need the active support of organizations and individuals to help pass emergency provisions that will:

Prohibit landlords from filing evictions if they accept partial rent payments from their tenants by temporarily eliminating the need for landlords and tenants to enter into written agreements to prevent an eviction case.
Expand tenants ability to seal prior eviction records if doing so is in the interests of justice, the parties agree to seal the court file, the tenant did not violate the lease, or there was no judgment entered against the tenant.
Prohibit tenant screening companies from disseminating a sealed eviction court record.
Seal eviction cases filed during the COVID-19 pandemic and economic recovery period (defined as March 9, 2020 - September 2022).
