| 1 | AN ACT concerning civil law.
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Code of Civil Procedure is amended by | |||||||||||||||||||
| 5 | changing Section 9-110 as follows:
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 6 | (735 ILCS 5/9-110) (from Ch. 110, par. 9-110)
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 7 | Sec. 9-110. Judgment for whole premises - Stay of | |||||||||||||||||||
| 8 | enforcement. If
it appears on the trial that the plaintiff is | |||||||||||||||||||
| 9 | entitled
to the possession of the whole of the premises | |||||||||||||||||||
| 10 | claimed, judgment for the
possession thereof and for costs | |||||||||||||||||||
| 11 | shall be entered in favor of the plaintiff.
However, if the | |||||||||||||||||||
| 12 | action is brought for possession of residential premises of a | |||||||||||||||||||
| 13 | tenant and the court finds that the defendant tenant is more | |||||||||||||||||||
| 14 | than 90 days in arrears on his or her rent, the court, by | |||||||||||||||||||
| 15 | order, may stay the enforcement of the judgment for a period | |||||||||||||||||||
| 16 | not to exceed 10 days from the date of the judgment, or if the | |||||||||||||||||||
| 17 | court finds that there is good cause for a longer stay, then | |||||||||||||||||||
| 18 | the court may stay the enforcement of the judgment for a period | |||||||||||||||||||
| 19 | in excess of 10 days, but in that event the court shall | |||||||||||||||||||
| 20 | condition the stay of the judgment on the defendant tenant | |||||||||||||||||||
| 21 | paying a pro rata amount of rent under terms established in the | |||||||||||||||||||
| 22 | stay order. However, if the action is brought under Article IX | |||||||||||||||||||
| 23 | of this Code and is
based upon a breach of a contract entered | |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | into
on or after July 1, 1962 for the purchase of such | ||||||
| 2 | premises, the court,
by order, may stay the enforcement of the | ||||||
| 3 | judgment for a period
not to exceed 60 days from the date of | ||||||
| 4 | the judgment, or if the court
finds that the amount unpaid on | ||||||
| 5 | the contract is less than 75% of the
original purchase price, | ||||||
| 6 | then the court shall stay the enforcement of the
judgment for a | ||||||
| 7 | period of 180 days from the date of the judgment. The court
may | ||||||
| 8 | order a stay of less than 180 days (but in no event less than 60
| ||||||
| 9 | days) if it is shown that the plaintiff, prior to the filing of | ||||||
| 10 | the action
under Article IX of this Act, granted the defendant | ||||||
| 11 | previous extensions of
time to pay the amounts due under the | ||||||
| 12 | contract, or for other good cause
shown. If during such period | ||||||
| 13 | of stay the defendant pays the entire amount
then due and | ||||||
| 14 | payable under the terms of the contract other than such
portion | ||||||
| 15 | of the principal balance due under the contract as would not be
| ||||||
| 16 | due had no default occurred and costs and, if the contract | ||||||
| 17 | provides
therefor, reasonable attorney's fees as fixed by the | ||||||
| 18 | court, and cures
all other defaults then existing, the contract | ||||||
| 19 | shall remain in force the
same as if no default had occurred. | ||||||
| 20 | The relief granted to a defendant
by this Section shall not be | ||||||
| 21 | exhausted by a single use thereof but shall
not be again | ||||||
| 22 | available with respect to the same contract for a period of
5 | ||||||
| 23 | years from the date of such judgment. Whenever defendant cures | ||||||
| 24 | the
default under the contract pursuant to this Section, the | ||||||
| 25 | defendant may within
the period of stay file a motion to vacate | ||||||
| 26 | the judgment in the court in
which the judgment was entered, | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | and, if the court, upon the hearing of
such motion, is | ||||||
| 2 | satisfied that such default has been cured, such
judgment shall | ||||||
| 3 | be vacated. Unless defendant files such motion to vacate
in the | ||||||
| 4 | court or the judgment is otherwise stayed, enforcement of the | ||||||
| 5 | judgment
may proceed
immediately upon the expiration of such | ||||||
| 6 | period of stay and all rights of the
defendant in and to the | ||||||
| 7 | premises and in and to the real estate described
in the | ||||||
| 8 | contract are terminated.
| ||||||
| 9 | Nothing herein contained shall be construed as affecting | ||||||
| 10 | the right of
a seller of such premises to any lawful remedy or | ||||||
| 11 | relief other than that
provided by Part 1 of Article IX of this | ||||||
| 12 | Act.
