What Cities Are Part Of The New Cook County Residential Tenant Landlord Ordinance (RTLO)

On January 28, 2021, the Cook County Commissioners passed the new Residential Tenant Landlord Ordinance (RTLO). The RTLO goes into effect on June 1, 2021 and will bring many changes to owners in the 125 cities in Cook County excluding Chicago, Oak Park, Evanston, and Mt. Prospect, that already have their own version of a rental ordinance.

Price is what you pay, Value is what you get! I want to provide value to others and make some money along the way. I have a solid foundation in Chicago real estate because I am a Real Estate investor in both Residential and Commercial/Industrial markets while being a founding partner at GC Realty & Development LLC and co-host of Straight Up Chicago Investor Podcast. In the last 20 years we renovated 500+ properties, invested in commercial properties, managed over 7000 units/tenants, leased over 4,000 properties, featured on CNBC’s TV show The Deed, co-host on Chicago's AM560 Real Estate Revealed Radio Show, and invited to speak & sit on panels at numerous investment summits across the country. I have also been blessed with the opportunity to be a guest on over 30 top podcast platforms. GC Realty & Development, LLC, currently manages over 1,200 investment properties throughout the Chicagoland area. In 2019, 2020, 2020 and 2022, GCR&D was featured on the Inc.

I take great pride in providing valued feedback to beginners and less experienced entrepreneurs on what steps not to take or what steps to take sooner in growing a younger business.
