Park Forest considers tenants rights ordinance for rentals
Park Forest village officials and trustees discussed a proposed tenants rights ordinance aimed at protecting renters and pressuring landlords to repair neglected properties. The plan would allow rent deposits to be held in escrow, with funds released to the landlord after repairs, or used to fund repairs if delays persist, and would permit tenants to earn interest on deposits. The committee weighed verification steps, funding for inspections, and costs to administer, targeting Thorn Creek Townhomes as the main problem site. The board plans further discussion and a possible presentation within two months.
