Each townhouse constitutes a separate building for purposes of the RLTO.

A Condominium Owner’s Association is Not a "Landlord" as Defined by the RLTO 

 
Spiegel v. Hollywood Towers Condominium Association, 283 Ill. App. 3d 992, 998-9 (1st Dist. 1996). 

 

A condominium association becomes neither a "successor in interest" nor a "landlord" under the RLTO where it exercises its powers under the Condominium Property Act (735 ILCS 5/9-102) to bring an action against the tenant of a condominium owner through the Forcible Entry and Detainer Act.

The author believes that this case does not rule out condo association management companies being liable as landlords under the RLTO under all circumstances.
