LaSalle CHAPTER 152: RESIDENTIAL RENTAL PROPERTY § 152.11
NO EFFECT ON LEASES
Operative Text
This chapter is not intended to and does not affect the rights and obligations of the parties to a lease, oral or written, of a rental residential property. (Ord. 2206, passed 1-11-2010; Am. Ord. 2332, passed 3-13-2012)
Section 152.11 of LaSalle's Chapter 152 establishes that the residential rental property regulations contained in that chapter operate independently of any lease agreement, whether oral or written. The rules in Chapter 152 neither expand nor diminish the contractual rights and duties that landlords and tenants have established between themselves in a lease. In other words, the chapter's requirements exist alongside lease terms rather than overriding or modifying them.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 152.11, property owners and managers should understand that complying with Chapter 152's regulatory requirements does not alter or substitute for the obligations set out in a lease agreement. A compliant operator generally maintains both adherence to Chapter 152's provisions and the terms of any oral or written lease as separate, parallel duties. Lease-based rights and responsibilities remain intact and enforceable on their own terms, independent of what Chapter 152 requires.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 152.11 makes clear that a tenant's rights under a lease—whether oral or written—are not diminished or changed by the existence of Chapter 152's residential rental property rules. Tenants retain whatever contractual protections their lease provides, in addition to any protections that Chapter 152 itself may offer. Tenants who believe their lease rights have been affected may wish to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office for general information about how lease terms and local ordinances interact.
