Security Deposit Receipt
If you’re renting out an apartment that is governed by the Chicago residential landlord and tenant ordinance, you are required to provide your tenants with a security deposit receipt containing an identification of the unit being leased, the amount of the deposit, the date it was received, and the name and signature of the owner or agent who received it. Failure to provide the tenant this simple sheet of paper can have dire and costly consequences, as explained in the domu landlord’s guide to security deposits. The domu security deposit receipt form, if completed fully and delivered to your tenants, will protect you from expensive litigation.
