Illinois Landlord Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (Illinois Landlord Kit, Illinois Small Claims Kit, Eviction Case File Organizer)

Who it is for

Landlords and property managers with rentals in Illinois: the state's rules, a small claims case for unpaid rent or damage, and an eviction case file if it comes to that.

Not the right fit if

Your rentals aren't in Illinois, or you only need one of the kits. Not a property management or legal service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The Illinois kits are built only from our Illinois data files: Illinois data files, checked November 2026 against 6 official pages, among them Illinois Attorney General: Landlord and Tenant Rights and Laws (01/24); Illinois Courts: Eviction Summons, statewide approved form (ATJ 3510.4, 10/26); Illinois Courts: Eviction Help Illinois; 17th Judicial Circuit Court of Illinois: Evictions Overview; Illinois Courts: How to File and Serve a Small Claims Complaint and Summons (SC-I 1802.1, rev. 08/20); Illinois Supreme Court Library: Small Claims research guide; Illinois small claims data file, checked November 2026 against Illinois Courts: How to File and Serve a Small Claims Complaint and Summons (SC-I 1802.1, rev. 08/20); Illinois Supreme Court Library: Small Claims research guide.
• Eviction Case File Organizer covers every state; the Illinois kits carry the state rules.

A business may be sued in any county where it does business or has an office.
