Landlords can’t legally remove someone from a unit until they’ve filed in court and a judge orders the Cook County Sheriff’s Office to enforce the eviction.

Sounds like he’d have to go through a judge first too.

True, at the end of a ten day (or 30 day) notice, the landlord can go to court to force the tenant out. This process will take a while, but it will immediately blacklist the tenant and make it much harder for them to find a new rental.

So in practice, it’s often better to leave before the landlord goes to court.

I’ve got some rentals. What is this blacklist you are talking about?

Just a figure of speech. But getting an eviction proceeding in your rental history report is like getting a bankruptcy in your credit history report.

The list is the municipal public record system and you enter it by setting foot in housing court. A lot of background checks will include that anywhere it is legal to do so.
