$ Spring Apartment Hunting With spring, many Illinois residents will be apartment hunting. If you are one of them, and you are moving from one rental unit to another, you will probably face security deposits both coming and going and there are a few things you should know. By Illinois law, if you are renting in an apartment house that has 25 or more rental units, the landlord owes you 5 percent annual interest on your security deposit. He is required to mail this to you or apply the interest as a rent credit each year that you are living in his rental unit and he is holding your security deposit. If you are terminating your lease and moving and have not yet received your annual in­ terest payment, make sure you receive it before you leave. The interest law, which previously covered only Chicago, was expanded in 1977 to cover the entire state. If your landlord refuses to pay the annual interest due on your security deposit, write to the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division, Room 1242, 228 North La Salle Street, Chicago, 60601. Your new landlord prbba will require a security deposit that is the equivalent of one month's rent. This is to protect him against any damage you may do during your tenancy. Theoretically, your former landlord will return your security deposit (plus interest) to you when you move out. Actually, many landlords try to avoid doing this. Their justification is that you damaged the apartment and they will have to spend money for repairs. However, if you rent in a building with 10 or more units, Illinois law provides that the landlord may not withhold your security deposit unless, within 30 days after you have vacated the premise, he gives you ?n itemized list of damages. You should note that, ordinary wear and tear does not constitute damages. o protect yourself when Vingfrom an apartment, the torney General s Consumer Section division suggests that you have a witness present, then call the landlord and ask him to inspect the apartment you are leaving to see if you have caused any damage. If he concedes, in front of your witness, that you are leaving the apartment as you found it, then there is no reason for him not to return your deposit. If he still balks. y<>u may have to go to court to get your money back. If you live outside Cook or DuPage counties, check with the clerk of the Circuit court of your county to see if they have a small claims court where you can press your claim.
