Landlord-Tenant Attorney Serving Kane County

Rental relationships can be stressful when problems arise. Whether you are a landlord trying to protect your property or a tenant concerned about your rights, Jackson Abdalla Law Group provides clear, practical guidance on leases, evictions, and rental disputes. Attorney Julia Jackson works with clients in Kane County and the surrounding Chicago suburbs to help them understand their options and move toward a resolution.

Lease Agreements:

A well-drafted lease is one of the best ways to prevent future rental disputes. Jackson Abdalla Law Group assists with:

  • PREPARING CUSTOMIZED RESIDENTIAL LEASE AGREEMENTS

  • REVIEWING LEASES FOR BOTH LANDLORDS AND TENANTS BEFORE SIGNING

  • CLARIFYING MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES AND REPAIR OBLIGATIONS

  • ADDRESSING PET POLICIES, OCCUPANCY LIMITS, AND USE RESTRICTIONS

  • ENSURING NOTICE PROVISIONS AND LATE-FEE TERMS COMPLY WITH ILLINOIS LAW

Landlords gain peace of mind knowing their leases are thorough and enforceable. Tenants benefit from understanding exactly what they are agreeing to before committing to a long-term housing arrangement.

Evictions and Rental Disputes:

Evictions and rental conflicts are stressful for everyone involved. Julia advises clients on both sides of landlord-tenant matters, including:

  • ASSISTING LANDLORDS WITH LEGALLY COMPLIANT EVICTION NOTICES

  • FILING AND PROSECUTING EVICTION ACTIONS IN THE APPROPRIATE COUNTY COURTHOUSE

  • REPRESENTING LANDLORDS AT EVICTION HEARINGS

  • ADVISING TENANTS FACING EVICTION ON THEIR RIGHTS AND OPTIONS

  • ADDRESSING HABITABILITY CONCERNS, SERIOUS REPAIR ISSUES, OR LEASE VIOLATIONS

  • EXPLORING NEGOTIATED RESOLUTIONS WHEN POSSIBLE

Following the correct legal process is essential. A misstep can delay a landlord's ability to regain possession or damage a tenant's ability to defend against an improper eviction.

Illinois Landlord-Tenant Rules:

Illinois has specific laws governing security deposits, notices, and tenant protections. In addition, some counties and municipalities-such as Cook County and certain cities-have additional requirements.

Julia helps clients understand:

  • SECURITY DEPOSIT RULES AND WHEN DEDUCTIONS ARE ALLOWED

  • NOTICE PERIODS FOR NONPAYMENT OF RENT OR LEASE VIOLATIONS

  • REQUIREMENTS FOR TERMINATING MONTH-TO-MONTH TENANCIES

  • RIGHTS RELATED TO HABITABILITY AND REPAIRS

By explaining how state and local rules apply, she helps landlords avoid costly mistakes and assists tenants in asserting legitimate rights.

Who We Serve:

Jackson Abdalla Law Group works with:

  • SMALL AND INDIVIDUAL LANDLORDS WHO NEED PRACTICAL LEGAL ADVICE

  • PROPERTY OWNERS MANAGING A FEW RENTALS OR TRANSITIONING TO BEING LANDLORDS

  • TENANTS CONCERNED ABOUT EVICTION, LEASE TERMS, OR SUBSTANDARD CONDITIONS

Regardless of which side of the lease you are on, Julia provides straightforward counsel focused on resolving issues efficiently and legally.
