Landlords may own the property, but while you are living there, they generally dont have the right to enter your home without permission. They cant violate your privacy for their convenience. In most locations, the landlord must provide advance notice before entering a property, except in an emergency.
For example, if a landlords repeated illegal entries into your house caused you 75 hours of serious upset, and you value your time at $25 per hour, you would sue for $1,875. If you are a landlord being sued, but believe that your entry or conduct was legal, you should be able to document this.
Illinois tenants can refuse when they believe in good faith that the entry is unreasonable (for example, showing the property at 2:00 AM). However, if the landlord disagrees, they might give the tenant a 10-day notice for a lease violation and attempt eviction.
File a complaint with the Illinois Department of Housing. The Department of Housing is responsible for enforcing tenant rights in Illinois. They can investigate your complaint and take action against your landlord, if necessary. Hire a local attorney.
