First, forget about showing the property to ANYONE until you have the current T out, and you have cleaned and fixed any damages left by your former T. And, yes, you will probably lose a good prospect. What if you try to get in and she has changed the locks on you, or if she is there and won't let you in. Are you going to break the door down? What if she calls the cops on you? Chalk it up to you not knowing your states LL/T laws. You should have given her the 3 day notice to pay Nov. rent, on Nov. 2. And started eviction procedures when she didn't pay it. She will now be getting free rent until you legally evict her through the court system. Go read the LL/T laws TODAY, and follow them EXACTLY. If the laws seem overwhelming to you, contact an attorney who DOES know them. With a lot of luck and knowledge, you may be able to get her out by Feb. 1.

The law isn't clear in Illinois regarding hold over. Looking if someone has experience in this situation.

You are in a little over your head. You need to see a lawyer if you do not want the tenant in your rental living for free in February.

"Go read the LL/T laws TODAY, and follow them EXACTLY." Helpful as always, G. And what would you do if your Shift key ever broke?
