Operative Text
Evanston, Ill., City Code § 5 § 5-3-6-2
If the tenant abandons the dwelling unit, the housing provider shall make a good faith effort to rent it at a fair rental. This shall include the acceptance of reasonable subleases. If the housing provider succeeds in renting the dwelling unit at a fair rental, the tenant shall be liable for the amount by which the rent due from the date of abandonment to the termination of the initial rental agreement exceeds the fair rental subsequently received by the housing provider from the date of abandonment to the termination of the initial rental agreement. If the housing provider makes a good faith effort to rent the dwelling unit at a fair rental and is unsuccessful, the tenant shall be liable for the rent due for the period of the rental agreement. In either event, the tenant shall be liable for the advertising expenses and reasonable redecoration costs incurred by the housing provider in re-renting the dwelling unit.
