Illinois Senate Bill 1563: Squatter Relief for Property Owners, Landlords, & REO Professionals

Illinois Senate Bill 1563: Squatter Relief for Property Owners, Landlords, & REO Professionals

Illinois Senate Bill 1563: Squatter Relief for Property Owners, Landlords, & REO Professionals

Illinois Senate Bill 1563, widely known as the “Squatter Bill”, has passed both houses and is awaiting Governor JB Pritzker’s approval. This bill is a pivotal shift in how unauthorized occupants, or “squatters,” are managed statewide. As housing challenges evolve statewide, IL SB 1563 addresses long-standing frustrations property owners have faced when dealing with individuals who exploit the legal gray areas to unlawfully occupy homes and rental properties, often without paying any rent.

For Chicago landlords, investors, REO managers, and property managers, this legislation marks a turning point in the rental market. It offers legal clarity while providing more enforcement power and quicker resolution timelines without navigating the often costly and time-consuming eviction courts. Understanding the specifics of IL SB 1563 and its practical applications will help you better protect your Illinois assets and bolster your long-term investment strategy.

What IL SB 1563 Fundamentally Changes

Senate Bill 1563 introduces long-awaited protections for property owners by clarifying the distinction between unlawful occupants (“squatters”) and lawful tenants. The bill reinforces already existing property rights without altering the judicial due process. It simply enables the enforcement of existing criminal laws in clearer, more actionable ways, like allowing police to act decisively when there’s no valid lease. The legislation:

  • Affirms that the Illinois Eviction Article does not restrict police from removing criminal trespassers.

  • Empowers law enforcement to take immediate action when property owners show legal ownership.

  • Criminalizes the use of fraudulent documents or false identity to claim residence in a property.

How SB 1563 Works in Practice

For owners and property managers in Chicago, SB 1563 dramatically simplifies the squatter response process. This new legal path enables Chicago property management companies to expedite turnover processes, reduce vacancy time, and protect clients from losses resulting from adverse possession attempts, lease fraud, and unauthorized occupancy. IL SB 1563 provides a clearer legal process for resolving squatter incidents. These steps include:

  1. Owner confirms legal control: typically with a deed, title, or other proof of ownership.

  2. Police review on-site documentation: to verify the absence of a lawful tenancy or lease agreement.

  3. Trespasser is removed: no civil eviction filing needed, minimizing delays and property damage risk.

  4. Property is resecured and reoccupied: typically within days instead of months.

Updated Overview of the Law

IL SB 1563 primarily aims to clarify the existing ambiguities and gray areas in the current law to help restore enforcement authority to local municipalities. This legislative change doesn’t diminish tenant rights, but instead restores a balance by clarifying which situations are considered unlawful occupancy and legal residency. Giving property owners a stronger foundation to act quickly and lawfully while protecting their other tenants. Specifically:

  • It updates language in Illinois’ Eviction Article to affirm that criminal trespass enforcement remains valid and enforceable, even if civil eviction is not yet underway.

  • The bill targets individuals using forged leases, fraudulent documentation, or identity misrepresentation to delay removal or create confusion over tenancy.

  • Supported by both Democratic and Republican lawmakers, the bill passed with overwhelming bipartisan support and now awaits Governor J.B. Pritzker’s expected signature.

IL SB 1563: What Are The Next Steps?

As of June 18th, Illinois SB 1563 has been sent to Gov. JB Pritzker for his approval, the last step in the legislative process. Although he has 60 calendar days to decide, political and real estate leaders in Springfield express strong confidence that Gov. Pritzker will sign the measure. His supporters cite direct engagement with his administration and broad bipartisan backing as clear indicators that the bill is likely to become law.

So if you are a property owner, landlord, or REO professional experiencing squatters in your Chicago investment property and are seeking to file an eviction, now is the time to prepare. IL SB 1563 gives Chicago property management companies like PRG Management the legal authority to act quickly and decisively, allowing the police can take immediate action once proof of ownership is provided, so squatter issues can be resolved almost immediately.

With the new legal framework from IL SB 1563, PRG Management’s experienced Chicago property managers are here to support landlords and property owners with any tenant-related issues affecting your cash flow. With over 2,800 units managed and $1B in assets under care, PRG Management provides customized Chicago property management solutions, including tenant management, compliance oversight, financial reporting, and much more. To talk to a property manager about how IL SB 1563 impacts your properties or tenants, contact PRG Management anytime.

TELL YOUR REPS: VOTE NO ON HB3564

A new Illinois housing bill, Illinois HB3564, is now under review in the Illinois Senate and could significantly change how rental housing is managed across Chicago and the state. While supporters promote the legislation as tenant-friendly, industry experts warn that it could lead to fewer available rental units, reduce protections for property owners, and make it harder for investors and landlords to offer quality rental housing in Illinois.

HB3564: JULY 2025 UPDATE

The bill passed the Illinois Senate in May 2025 and is now awaiting final action from the governor’s office. If signed into law, it would impose new rental regulations, expand tenant rights, and potentially override some aspects of local landlord-tenant ordinances, creating various difficulties for property management companies in Chicago. The legislation has sparked strong reactions from both housing advocates and real estate professionals, with ongoing debate about its long-term impact on housing supply and affordability.

For Chicago property management companies, HB3564 represents a major shift in operational compliance and client guidance. Chicago property managers may need to adjust lease agreements, modify tenant screening procedures, and increase administrative oversight to stay in step with new state-level regulations. The bill also reinforces the growing importance of professional management in navigating legal complexity, especially for out-of-state owners and investors who rely on local Chicago property managers to protect their assets. As a leader in Chicago property management, we are ready to overcome any challenges this brings to the market.

How Commercial Property Management Boosts Profitability in Chicago

How Commercial Property Management Boosts Profitability in Chicago

Investing in commercial real estate in Chicago presents a tremendous opportunity for property owners and investors. With the proper care, a commercial property can deliver a high level of profitability. However, maximizing profitability requires strategic management to optimize cash flow, reduce expenses, and increase property value. Professional Chicago commercial property management plays a crucial role in achieving these goals. Here’s how expert property management increases a commercial building's profitability in the competitive Chicago market.

1. Maximizing Rental Income

One of the primary ways a commercial property management firm enhances profitability is by setting competitive rental rates and ensuring maximum occupancy. Professional Chicago property managers conduct thorough market analysis to determine optimal lease pricing while remaining competitive in Chicago’s dynamic real estate market. A good commercial management team will also implement tenant retention strategies to minimize vacancies and maintain a steady cash flow.

2. Reducing Operating Costs

Effective commercial property management focuses on cost efficiency without sacrificing quality. Property managers negotiate vendor contracts for maintenance, cleaning, and security services, securing the best rates through established industry relationships. By working with an experienced Chicago property management company like PRG Management, you can benefit from the extensive network of trusted vendors for a huge variety of situations. Additionally, routine property inspections and proactive maintenance help prevent costly emergency repairs and extend the lifespan of key assets.

3. Ensuring Compliance & Risk Mitigation

Chicago’s commercial real estate sector comes with its own set of various special regulations, including zoning laws, safety codes, and tax assessments. A professional property management team ensures full compliance with local, state, and federal laws, reducing the risk of fines, legal disputes, and liabilities. This proactive approach safeguards your investment while minimizing unexpected expenses that can arise from legal liabilities. PRG Management ensures our property managers are always up to date on local and federal changes so we can better serve our clients.

4. Efficient Lease Management & Tenant Relations

Just like residential investments, a commercial investment’s source of income is its tenants. Strong tenant relationships lead to higher satisfaction and long-term lease agreements, securing a stable revenue stream. Maintaining these relationships and efficiently handling lease negotiations, renewals, and enforcement requires expertise to protect the owner's interests. When there is no one to ensure tenant satisfaction you run the risk of losing their trust with larger financial pitfalls down the line. The property managers at PRG Management ensure leases are structured with favorable terms, enforce timely rent collection, and mitigate disputes. 

5. Enhancing Property Value & Preventative Maintenance

Well-maintained commercial properties command higher rental rates and attract quality tenants. This includes not only maintaining the grounds around the property but modernizing the property as well. A dedicated management team oversees renovations, curb appeal improvements, and energy-efficient upgrades, all of which contribute to long-term appreciation. An experienced commercial property management team will also perform regular preventative maintenance efforts that align with enhancing a property’s value. 

6. Leveraging Technology & Data Analytics

Modern property management companies like PRG Management, use cutting-edge technology and data-driven insights to optimize operations. Predictive maintenance software, digital lease management systems, and real-time financial reporting provide transparency and efficiency, allowing owners to make informed investment decisions and maximize profitability. Clients who work with PRG Management get access to an app and dashboard that provides key statistics, documentation, and a portal for tenant communications.

The Hidden Risks of Neglecting Chicago Facilities Management

Comment

The Hidden Risks of Neglecting Chicago Facilities Management

Proper Chicago facilities management support is the backbone of any well-maintained and profitable commercial property. In Chicago, where extreme weather conditions, compliance regulations, and tenant expectations create a complex landscape for property owners and investors, neglecting facilities management can lead to significant financial and operational setbacks. As experienced Chicago property managers, PRG Management understands the critical role that proactive management plays in protecting investments and ensuring tenant satisfaction.

We collected some of the most common issues we encounter when property owners and investors hire us for our Chicago facilities management services. If you don’t work with a Chicago property management team, you may be at risk of one of these pitfalls.

Increased Maintenance Costs Due to Deferred Repairs

When routine preventative maintenance is overlooked, minor issues inevitably become more costly repairs. For example, a small plumbing leak left unattended can result in extensive water damage, mold growth, and structural deterioration. HVAC systems that are not regularly serviced may fail at the worst possible time, leading to emergency repairs that are both inconvenient and expensive. Our proactive facilities management ensures that these issues are addressed early and regularly, preventing unnecessary financial strain, and preserving the integrity of the property. 

Tenant Dissatisfaction and High Turnover Rates

A property’s physical condition directly reflects its ownership’s commitment to tenant satisfaction. When maintenance concerns are consistently ignored, residents and commercial tenants become frustrated. Leaky roofs, malfunctioning elevators/HVACs, and pest issues contribute to a poor living or working experience, prompting tenants to seek alternative options. High turnover rates mean increased vacancies and additional marketing costs, leading to lost revenue. Maintaining a property’s facilities is key to developing long-term tenant relationships and minimizing disruptions.

Local Legal and Compliance Issues

Chicago has strict building codes and property maintenance regulations that owners must adhere to. With unique requirements for different buildings, it can get complex for those not familiar with the landscape. Ignoring these responsibilities can result in costly fines, legal disputes, and, in extreme cases, condemnation of the property. Routine inspections, preventative maintenance, and general proactive facilities management actions help ensure compliance with fire safety codes, accessibility requirements, and structural integrity standards. Failing to meet these regulations can lead to legal problems that jeopardize a property’s profitability and reputation. 

Safety Hazards and Liability Risks

A poorly maintained property poses significant safety risks. Loose handrails, uneven walkways, faulty electrical wiring, and neglected fire safety systems can all contribute to accidents and severe injuries. When property owners fail to notice and address these hazards, they open themselves up to legal claims and liability lawsuits. A comprehensive facilities management plan mitigates these risks by prioritizing safety, reducing the likelihood of incidents, and protecting tenants and ownership from legal exposure.

Decreased Property Value and Marketability

Neglecting facilities management has a direct impact on property value. A building that shows signs of disrepair, such as peeling paint, outdated systems, and neglected common areas—loses its competitive edge in the market. Investors and prospective tenants notice these deficiencies, leading to reduced interest and lower valuation. Regular maintenance and strategic upgrades help sustain property value and attract quality tenants willing to pay premium rates.

Energy Inefficiency and Rising Utility Costs

An often-overlooked consequence of poor facilities management is energy inefficiency. Outdated HVAC systems, insufficient insulation, and neglected electrical systems lead to excessive energy consumption and high utility bills. Without proper oversight, property owners may be overpaying for resources that could be better managed through routine maintenance and HVAC system upgrades. Implementing energy-efficient solutions through proper facilities management cuts costs and aligns with sustainability initiatives that appeal to today’s tenants.

The Competitive Advantage of Proactive Facilities Management

In Chicago’s enormous real estate market, a well-managed property stands apart from the competition. Proactive facilities management demonstrates professionalism, protects long-term investments, and bolsters tenant retention. A proper property management team will keep these important systems and physical conditions of a building from ever snowballing out of control. By addressing maintenance and safety needs before they become major problems, property owners position themselves for sustained success.

At PRG Management, we understand the complexities of Chicago facilities management and its impact on operational efficiency. A dedicated facilities management approach safeguards your investment, ensures tenant satisfaction, and maintains compliance with important local regulations. For those looking to maintain a high-performing property in Chicago, professional facilities management is not an option—it’s a necessity.

How Receivership Services Can Help Save Distressed Properties in Chicago

How Receivership Services Can Help Save Distressed Properties in Chicago

When properties fall into financial or physical distress, their future can seem uncertain. Distressed properties, if left unmanaged, can spiral into further disrepair, creating negative impacts for owners, tenants, and the surrounding community. This is where receivership services step in as a transformative solution, offering professional management and restoration to safeguard property investments and revive value.

PRG Management’s receivership services offer a crucial lifeline, ensuring properties are stabilized and restored efficiently. By stepping in as a neutral party, receivers can manage troubled properties, resolve legal and financial issues, and work towards revitalizing properties.

What Are Chicago Receivership Services?

Receivership services involve appointing a court-ordered professional, known as a receiver, to oversee and manage a distressed property. A property can be considered distressed for various reasons but most often it starts from financial issues. The receiver assumes control of the property on behalf of the court to stabilize its condition, address financial burdens, and ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. A receiver's primary goal is to protect and improve the property’s value while resolving conflicts among stakeholders. Essentially, a bank hires someone to manage the revitalization of property and assist with the turnover of the property to remove their financial burden.

In many cases, a receiver’s intervention prevents properties from deteriorating further and offers a clear path to recovery, whether through a sale, rehabilitation, or continued operation. This can occur with a wide range of properties but residential properties are the most common.

The Importance of Receivership Services in Chicago

Chicago, with its blend of historic architecture and diverse real estate opportunities, often grapples with the challenge of distressed properties. Factors like economic downturns, ownership disputes, and deferred maintenance contribute to properties falling into distress. Left unresolved, these issues can harm local communities and diminish neighborhood appeal. These situations occur all over the city from low-income areas to affluent neighborhoods, and to both residential and commercial properties.

Receivership services are crucial in maintaining Chicago's vibrant real estate market. By stepping in to manage troubled properties, PRG Management ensures that these assets remain viable, valuable, and beneficial for the broader community. These actions and services play an important role in maintaining an area’s actual and perceived value. From maintaining historic structures to revitalizing modern developments, receivership services protect both individual investments and collective urban aesthetics.

Why PRG Management Is the Best Choice for Chicago Receivership Services

Rehab Management & Flip of an Investment Property: 1328 South Kolin Ave

Comment

Rehab Management & Flip of an Investment Property: 1328 South Kolin Ave

PRG Management has recently completed a project for an investor to help acquire, manage, rehab, and flip an investment property at 1328 S Kolin in Chicago. This project was another opportunity to collaborate with Pearson Realty Group, who assisted in a profitable flip for the investor. PRG Management’s Investment Management Division handled the rest of the project scope from managing the tear-down and new construction with vendors to coordinating with the property’s former occupants. See below for before & after photos and details of the project. Details here for the Purchase Price and Sales Information for this property.

INVESTMENT Project Management

After the investor acquired the lender-owned property at 1328 S Kolin Ave, through the assistance of Pearson Realty Group, PRG Management was brought on board to manage the rehabilitation side of the project. The property was in significant disrepair and required a comprehensive plan to make it market-ready. PRG Management’s Rental and Investment Management teams handled the entire rehab process, from initial inspections to coordinating with vendors and ensuring that each phase of the project stayed on time and within budget. Our investment management team’s years of experience and local market knowledge made a significant difference in turning a distressed property into an appealing Chicago home.

Rehab DETAILS

PRG Management's experience in managing various Chicagoland rehab projects allowed us to easily oversee every detail of the 1328 S Kolin Ave project. From integral structural and Chicago code improvements to visually appealing aesthetic upgrades, we ensured that all work was performed to the highest standards using only highly vetted vendors. With our focus on project efficiency and maintaining clear communication with all parties, the investment property was successfully flipped, with an increased market value and profitability for the investor.

Take a look at some of the before and after photos of 1328 S Kolin Ave below

Tenant Management

An important aspect of the 1328 S Kolin project was communication with the current tenants who were occupying the property before the rehabilitation. This is a common occurrence in REO properties, such as bank-owned and lender-owned properties, which have typically defaulted on some sort of loan. PRG Management ensured that all tenant concerns were addressed and facilitated an amicable resolution to the situation. Finding a new space for the current tenants allowed us to complete construction and inspections with no delays and without conflict.

Thanks to Pearson Realty Group’s assistance with the purchase and sale of 1328 S Kolin and PRG Management’s property managers for their commitment to a high standard in project management and tenant care. By closely collaborating, this partnership between our two companies was able to meet the investor’s goals, ensuring the 1328 S Kolin flip was a profitable project.
