47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.612
Evictions
Operative Text
Developers shall have the right to evict Tenants from Units for good cause, as permitted under State and local law.
Under 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.612, developers who participate in the applicable Illinois housing program retain the authority to pursue eviction of tenants from their units, but only when there is 'good cause' as that term is recognized under applicable State and local law. The provision does not create an independent eviction standard; instead, it ties the developer's eviction rights to whatever good-cause requirements already exist in Illinois law and any relevant local ordinances. This means tenants cannot be removed arbitrarily — a legally recognized reason must exist before an eviction can proceed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
As a developer or property manager operating under 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.612, compliant operators generally ensure that any eviction action is grounded in a recognized good-cause basis under both Illinois State law and applicable local ordinances. Operators typically document the specific cause for eviction thoroughly before initiating proceedings, since the provision expressly conditions eviction rights on conformance with existing legal standards. Maintaining clear records of lease violations, nonpayment, or other qualifying grounds is a common practice for demonstrating compliance with this provision.

Section 380.612 of 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 provides tenants with a meaningful protection: a developer may only evict you for good cause as defined by State and local law, not for arbitrary or undocumented reasons. If you receive an eviction notice, the existence of a valid good-cause basis under Illinois law is a central issue, and raising the absence of good cause as a defense in eviction proceedings is a recognized path under this framework. Tenants facing eviction may also consider reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office familiar with Illinois housing regulations to understand what good-cause standards apply in their municipality.
