Reed v. Burns (1992)

 

 

Reed v. Burns, 238 Ill. App. 3d 148 (1st Dist. 1992)

 

This case was good for Tenants.  The Appellate Court said the landlord's refusal to renew the tenant's lease WAS retaliatory, and reversed the trial court's finding to the contrary.  Under RLTO § 5-12-150, once a tenant engages in protected conduct like complaining about repairs they want made, for the next 12 months a landlord's refusal to renew their lease or to evict the tenant will be PRESUMED retaliatory.  The burden then shifts to the landlord to prove their motive was not retaliatory.
