Subject: Chicago, Illinois — Letter from Tenanlandlordor— - Lease Agreement Containing Provision Confessing Judgment on a Claim Arising out of Rental Agreement in Violation of Law Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address a concern regarding the lease agreement we entered into for the property located at [property address] in Chicago, Illinois. Specifically, I would like to draw your attention to a provision within the lease agreement that confesses judgment on a claim arising out of the rental agreement in violation of the law. Upon thorough research and consultation with legal professionals, it has come to my attention that such a provision in our lease agreement might be deemed unenforceable and contrary to the laws in Chicago, Illinois. As a responsible tenant, I believe it is crucial to ensure that our lease agreement is compliant with the governing laws and regulations. Having reviewed the Chicago Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance (ALTO) in detail, it is evident that certain provisions confessing judgment, particularly those that waive a tenant's rights or limit their legal recourse, are invalid under local laws. Specifically, Section 5-12-150 of the ALTO states that landlords cannot require tenants to waive their rights or remedies under the ordinance nor penalize tenants for asserting their rights. While I greatly appreciate the effort put forth in creating the lease agreement and your intention to safeguard your legitimate interests, I kindly request that we remove or modify the provision confessing judgment on a claim arising out of the rental agreement. By doing so, we can align our lease agreement with the local laws, protecting both parties' rights and fostering a fair and legal rental relationship. I would appreciate it if we could discuss this matter further at your earliest convenience. It is my intention to maintain a positive and mutually beneficial landlord-tenant relationship, and I believe that resolving this concern will contribute to that objective. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I eagerly await your response to move forward and rectify this issue promptly.
