SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:

New Act
310 ILCS 65/5

from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 1255

Creates the Residential Rental Property Registry Act and amends the
Illinois Affordable Housing Act. Requires the State to establish the
Residential Rental Registry to be maintained and monitored by the Illinois
Housing Development Authority. Requires that each landlord of one or more
dwelling units, including condominium and cooperative units, must register
each dwelling unit by January 1 of each year with the Residential Rental
Registry. Prohibits a person from allowing to be occupied or rented or
charge, accept, or retain rent for any dwelling unit unless the landlord
has registered the dwelling unit with the Residential Rental Registry.
Provides that a landlord who has not paid the rental registry fee within
the past 12 months for a particular dwelling unit may not increase the rent
charged for the dwelling unit until the landlord pays, in full, the rental
registry fee currently due for the dwelling unit. Requires all landlords
of residential dwelling units to pay an annual registration fee in the
amount of $100 per dwelling unit, excluding a local housing authority and
an owner-occupied building of 6 or fewer units that pays a fee of $50 per
dwelling unit. Authorizes the Illinois Housing Development Authority to
administer the Act and adopt appropriate rules to implement the Act.
Creates penalties for a landlord that provides false or misleading
information to the Authority. Provides that registration fees and fines
collected under the Residential Rental Property Act shall be deposited
into the Illinois Affordable Housing Trust Fund for the purpose of
providing rental assistance.
