Whether you’re a landlord renting to tenants or a tenant renting a space, disputes are bound to happen and it’s important to get commercial landlord services in Chicago that can be trusted. Disputes can be over the safety of the area, receiving a security deposit back, or the eviction of a tenant for not fulfilling the terms of their lease. Getting the support of an experienced law office can reduce the chance of paying fraudulent damages or of being evicted for a false reason. An experienced law firm will have the in-depth knowledge an organization or individual needs when it involves tenant issues.
Evicting a tenant from their home or business location requires careful planning, and legal steps must be taken. An individual renting a home must be given proper notification, and a landlord cannot shut off the utilities to a home to force a tenant to leave. Expert commercial landlord services in Chicago will help an owner understand the proper procedure to follow so they’re not sued by their tenants. If a family needs help to remain in their home, an attorney will provide the defense they need even if they’re having difficulty paying the rent.
When a business finds a perfect location, they should have an attorney review the lease agreement. A business owner doesn’t want to find out they’ve been evicted after their customers know exactly where they’re located and the have to spend more time looking for a new space. Relocating a business could cost them thousands of dollars in lost sales. However, an experienced commercial tenant eviction attorney can provide the defense they need because of an eviction notice. Tenants are often afraid to speak up for their rights because they feel they have no options but to move. This is not the case in many situations.
Starr, Bejgiert, Zink & Rowells have over 80 years of combined experience focused on landlord-tenant litigation under the Chicago Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance, as well as Illinois laws, building code violation hearings, zoning matters, real estate matters, and much more. When you have a question about a tenant or landlord situation, contact them for the legal information you need.

U.S. Representative Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R–CA) pled guilty today to conspiring to take bribes in exchange for using his influence as a member of the House Appropriations Committee to help a defense contractor get business. In total he pled guilty to one count of income tax evasion and four counts of conspiracy, namely mail fraud, wire fraud, bribery of public official and accepting bribes. U.S. District judge Larry A. Burns scheduled Cunnigham to be sentenced on February 27. He is facing up to 10 years in prison and nearly $500,000 in fines, as well as forfeiture of unspecified amounts of cash and property.
In the court hearing, Cunningham admitted to accepting “bribes in exchange for performance of official duties” between “the year 2000 and June of 2005”, taking “both cash payments and payments in kind” and following up by “trying to influence the Defense Department”.
The federal investigation against Cunningham was triggered by his sale of his California residence to defense contractor Mitchell Wade in late 2003. However, Wade never moved in and sold the house at a $700,000 loss three quarters of a year later. At the same time Wade’s company MZM won tens of millions of dollars in defense contracts. Subsequent investigations discovered more questionable business transactions, including interactions with the defense contractor ADCS. In his plea agreement he testified that, among other charges, he “demanded, sought and received at least $2.4 million in illicit payments and benefits from his co-conspirators in various forms, including cash, checks, meals, travel, lodging, furnishings, antiques, rugs, yacht club fees, boat repairs and improvements, moving expenses, cars and boats.”
Cunningham announced his resignation after the hearing. In a written statement released by his law firm O’Melveny & Myers LLP he declared “The truth is — I broke the law, concealed my conduct, and disgraced my high office. I know that I will forfeit my freedom, my reputation, my worldly possessions, and most importantly, the trust of my friends and family.”

This is part four of our five part set outlining tips and strategies of how to become a better defensive driver when taking to the roads each day. Why should you become a defensive driver? Defensive drivers are safer when behind the wheel and are able to anticipate what other drivers around them might do with their vehicles. Hopefully the tips we discuss in this article and in the previous ones will help drivers on the roads today become better defensively and safer when behind the wheel of their vehicles.
The first tip we would like to offer up in part four of this five part set is to always share the road with others. You are not the only person driving the roads of the United States. Drivers today have to share the road with millions of other motorists, bicyclists, motorcycles, trucks, buses, vans, emergency equipment and construction equipment. If we can all get along while on the roadways and learn to respect one another then the roads will be a safer place to travel. Not all drivers keep a keen eye out for bicyclists and people on motorcycles, which is the reason for quite a few accidents. If everyone takes not of bicyclists and motorcycles while driving they will have a better sense of security.
Beware of congested areas when driving. A lot of congested areas also have openings in them where the traffic speed begins to pick up the pace a little bit. This is usually for only a little bit of time. The traffic might pick up around a curve but then come to a crawl only a half a mile or so up the road. Always beware of this. A lot of accidents happen this way. Drivers become too lax when the congestion opens up and they don t realize that it is slowing down again.
Drivers everywhere love to do it, but you should try to break the habit of tailgating immediately. Tailgating does not leave any room or time for a driver to stop their car at a moment s notice. If you are tailgating too closely to other drivers and they suddenly come to a stop then you have almost no reaction time or room on the road to react. Tailgating causes close to 40 percent of accidents in the United States today.
Along with tailgating, passing safely is another important aspect of becoming a defensive driver. You cannot control what other drivers do with their vehicles but you can control what you do with yours. When passing, make sure you do so in a safe manner. Use your signal when passing and do not pass in non-passing zones. Make sure there is enough room between the car you are passing and any oncoming traffic.
The final tip of part four of our five part set is to beware of slow moving vehicles. Slow moving vehicles in any circumstance can cause a traffic slowdown on the road and you should always be wary of them. Don t jump the gun and pass a slow moving vehicle right away. They could be hiding a danger on the road such as an animal or a piece of debris that you cannot see.
Part five will include tips for obeying pedestrian laws, securing loose objects on your car, choosing your safest route and always know your blind spots.

Due to the damage by Hurricane Katrina and subsequent flooding, a number of colleges and universities in the New Orleans metropolitan area will not be able to hold classes for the fall 2005 semester. It is estimated that 75,000 to 100,000 students have been displaced. [1]. In response, institutions across the United States and Canada are offering late registration for displaced students so that their academic progress is not unduly delayed. Some are offering free or reduced admission to displaced students. At some universities, especially state universities, this offer is limited to residents of the area.
