If you no longer stay in a apartment & the landlord file a eviction. What's the worst can happen?

Chicago IL ...Cook County....

Update:

I do not stay in the apartment anymore rent. Lived out my security deposit and i have a letter stating it is ok. Will this be on my credit report or background check?

Update 2:

*Not leaving nothing out landlord type up a letter stating that i can lived out my security deposit but i am no longer in the apartment as of this weekend. They terminate my lease due to "regular living noise" dont ask me what that mean i am suppose to be out by 12/31. So i dont understand the eviction if i am not there. I have the letter if you want 2 review w/ landlord signutures.

    You must be leaving something out, a landlord wouldn't give you letter stating it is ok for you to move out, and your apartment is ok, and then file an eviction notice, that just doesn't add up. He wouldn't go to the expense of filing if he didn't need to.

    That changes it, if the landlord is terminating your lease, then the eviction is to make sure you leave. If you do leave within the amount of days they specified, then they won't need to evict you. They can however go after you once you are out if you don't have a security deposit left, or you owe rent from months you were there, or if there is damage to the apartment.

    Credit report will not necessarily show a court record. However, if the landlord turns your account over to a collection agency, your credit report will show a balance owing to your landlord.

    Future landlords might find your eviction record. Also, the landlord could eventually attempt to garnish your wages or bank account for money owed.

    Also, it may be very difficult for you to rent again if your credit report shows that you owe money and have an eviction record. And, of course, you'll have a negative rental reference.

    Not sure what letter you have. If the landlord had to go through all the trouble and costs of evicting you then it's unlikely that "it is ok". Why did you force your landlord to evict you instead of leaving voluntarily?

    A "lease termination" is not the same as an eviction. An eviction means a court hearing was held and a judge ordered you off the property. If you left voluntarily (or do not dispute the termination) then you were not evicted.

    If they haven't evicted you and merely asked you to leave, you should try to negotiate a voluntary termination (i.e. your move-out notice in exchange for no negative rental reference, debt forgiveness, etc.). A for cause eviction or nonpayment eviction often take much longer than if you voluntarily move-out.

    Whatever you do, make sure you have a written notice showing that you have vacated and returned the keys.

    i do no longer comprehend what you propose via illegally evicted. in case you propose they went to courtroom and have been given an eviction order what they did became into criminal whether they lied with regard to the reason. You had an danger to look in courtroom and oppose the eviction. the two you probably did no longer look and misplaced via default or you probably did look and the choose governed against you. the two way this is too late now. in the event that they only threw you out try to be waiting to do some thing. there's a statute of limitations on bringing a civil action. you should envision what this is in the jurisdiction the place this got here approximately. it ought to be too late.

    Depends on the landlord.

    The eviction notice is probably in case you decide to move back in and don't want to move out. In some states, the landlord has to give ten days for you to move or pay the rent after the eviction notice is given. So, they have that covered in case they need to ask the law to move you out. Sounds stupid, but that is the law in some states.

    The landlord can have your wages garnished for back rent and fees, and your credit will be ruined; and he or she can sell any personal possessions you left in the apartment. Other than that, nothing worse can happen if you're not there. If you do live there, the sheriff can be called to forcibly remove you, should the landlord win a judgement against you.

    If they follow thru with the eviction then that will be on your rental history and it will be very hard to rent another place.

    If you owe any money, then they can sue you in small claims court and that will show on your credit report.

    Unless the eviction is already filed - Then I don't see why they would if you are already out.

    If you break your lease for any reason, it will be on your credit.

    If you "have a letter saying it is ok" why would he take you to court?

    The question is are you the renter/leaser of record?
