What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
Renters lease is up March 3rd. She has been notified every month since December that we were not renewing the lease. She did not pay January or February rent. Her water was shut off for non-payment February 15th but she was still living there with 5 children. DCFS was contacted, they did a welfare check. My son lives next door and spoke to the investigator. He was told the toilet was backed up and there was poop floating in the bathtub! Since then they have moved out but have not returned the keys and I don't expect them to be returned. Do I need to evict? I have no idea where they moved. Or do I just wait a specified amount of time and it is considered abandoned?
