I wasn’t able to make the meeting regarding the new ordinance for landlords in Oak Lawn but my neighbor goes to all of the meetings.  He told my husband that a lot of REALTORS left “crying,” meaning that the ordinance did pass.  I spoke with a group of Oak Lawn real estate agents and they had a lot of questions.

I tried to answer as many as I could but every landlord and Oak Lawn REALTOR needs to read the ordinance in full.  It’s a lot of reading and it’s difficult to remember every change.  Landlords need to copy the ordinance so they can be assured of compliance.
