Evictions and evidence
(Ford, D-Chicago) amends the Code of Civil Procedure affecting the eviction of tenants for criminal activities. It provides that evidence upon which a judgment for possession under this Section may be based includes, but is not limited to, police reports, photos, and affidavits of neighbors and other tenants. It also provides that it is not required that a defendant be formally charged with a crime before a plaintiff may be granted relief. House Bill 3702 was just introduced.
