how much can landlords raise rent in Illinois per year?

RE: rent increase
In a week-to-week or month-to-month tenancy, the landlord can raise your rent by any amount if
he/she gives you seven days notice for a week-to-week lease or 30 days notice for a month-to- month
lease. Your landlord cannot raise your rent if you have a fixed-term lease. In other words, if you have
a year lease, your landlord cannot raise your rent prior to the expiration of the lease.
Illinois does not have a rent control law. Therefore, your landlord can raise your rent as much as
he/she deems necessary. However, you should contact your local units of government to see if your
city or county has a rent control ordinance.
