no statewide rule entry notice.
Illinois has no statewide statute requiring advance entry notice. Many leases and the Chicago RLTO require notice (typically 2 days in Chicago) for non-emergency entry.
What this means for you: Outside Chicago and similar localities, your lease governs entry. In Chicago, the RLTO requires 2 days' notice.
Your next step: Check your lease and whether a local ordinance (like Chicago's RLTO) applies. Object in writing to no-notice entries.
