Taking my disabled cousin to court so she can evict the squatter in her house because she didn't realize when she let this man who is the brother of her daughter's friends that in Illinois anybody you allow to live in your house for two weeks then has tenant's rights. She lives on disability in a house she fortunately paid for before her disability happened and this dickhead won't get out of her house, calls the health department on her (which inspection she passed), eats her food, and harasses her in her own house. She called the police on him at one point and their response? "He has tenant rights. You'll have to formally evict him." Cost of filing an eviction: $320.00. Cost of service of process: $83.00. Her monthly income from disability: $1000. She's learned her lesson.
The funny thing is that her court time is right when the EAS/EBS is happening. Cell phones have to be turned off in the court room anyway. I'm just leaving mine in the car and waiting for her in front of the courthouse until she's done. No need for me to be inside the courthouse walking past the free NARCAN dispenser to watch the shitshow that is "justice" system in Illinois.
Seriously? That is the law? I am finding myself shocked, and after the last few years, I thought I was shock proof. No wonder some wit said no good deed goes unpunished. Good luck.
Well, she DID have good luck. Guy has to be out in two weeks. If he doesn't go, then she pays the Sheriff to come throw him out. And of course she has to pay to get locks changed, just in case. Clown world, but a win for now.
