Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Leases
(Court opinion corrected 8/21/18.) A new landlord does not have a right to recover rent due from before it owned the property. A nonwaiver clause in lease does not allow new landlord to demand compliance with obligations that were owed to original landlord. New landlord cannot file suit for breach of guaranty or collect under guaranty for failure to pay past due rent because it does not have standing to sue.(MASON and PUCINSKI, concurring.)
