Evanston, Ill., City Code § 5 § 5-4-2-1
NOTICE OF INTENT TO TENANTS (Evanston Housing Regulations)
Operative Text
Prior to formal filing and concurrently with its delivery to tenants, the declarant shall deliver to the City a copy of the notice of intent to convert and an affidavit providing a list of the tenants to whom said notice was supplied and the date or dates of delivery or attempted delivery. A copy of this Chapter shall be attached to all such notices. Said notices shall contain the information required by the City as set forth in regulations promulgated hereunder.
Under Evanston, Ill., City Code § 5-4-2-1, when a property owner intends to convert a rental building (typically to condominiums), they must simultaneously deliver a formal notice of intent to convert to both the tenants and the City of Evanston. Along with that notice, the owner must submit an affidavit listing every tenant who received the notice and the date(s) of delivery or attempted delivery. Every notice sent to tenants must include a copy of the relevant Chapter and must contain all information the City requires under its regulations.

Operators subject to Evanston, Ill., City Code § 5-4-2-1 generally ensure that the notice of intent to convert is delivered to tenants and the City at the same time — not sequentially. A compliant operator prepares an affidavit that accurately identifies each tenant recipient and documents the date of each delivery or attempted delivery before or concurrent with formal filing. Attaching a full copy of the applicable Chapter to every tenant notice, and confirming that the notice meets all City-promulgated content requirements, are standard steps in a compliant conversion process.

Under Evanston, Ill., City Code § 5-4-2-1, tenants in a building undergoing conversion have the right to receive a formal notice of intent to convert that includes a copy of the governing Chapter and all City-required information. If a tenant believes they did not receive proper notice, or that the notice lacked required content, that procedural gap may be relevant to the conversion process. Tenants can contact the City of Evanston directly to verify whether the required affidavit and notice were properly filed, and may also reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on conversion-related protections.
