12    Service or with a commercially reasonable delivery
13    service, properly addressed to the intended recipient's

15    postage or cost of delivery provided for; or

17    facsimile transmission, electronic mail, or other
18    electronic transmission, by sending it to the recipient in
19    the agreed manner at the address specified in the
20    agreement.
21    (b) The following rules determine the proper address for
22giving a notification under subsection (a):
23        (1) A person giving a notification to an assignee shall
24    use the address for notices to the assignee provided in the
25    document creating the assignment of rents, but, if the

 

 

SB3810 Engrossed- 5 -LRB097 17588 AJO 62794 b

1    assignee has provided the person giving the notification
2    with a more recent address for notices, the person giving
3    the notification shall use that address.
4        (2) A person giving a notification to an assignor shall
5    use the address for notices to the assignor provided in the
6    document creating the assignment of rents, but, if the
7    assignor has provided the person giving the notification
8    with a more recent address for notices, the person giving
9    the notification shall use that address.
10        (3) If a tenant's agreement with an assignor provides
11    an address for notices to the tenant and the person giving
12    notification has received a copy of the agreement or knows
13    the address for notices specified in the agreement, the
14    person giving the notification shall use that address in

22effective even if it was not given in accordance with
23subsection (a) or (c).
 
24    Section 4. Security instrument creates assignment of
25rents; assignment of rents creates security interest.

 

 

SB3810 Engrossed- 6 -LRB097 17588 AJO 62794 b

1    (a) An enforceable security instrument creates an
2assignment of rents arising from the real property described in
3the security instrument, unless the security instrument
4provides otherwise.
5    (b) An assignment of rents creates a presently effective
6security interest in all accrued and unaccrued rents arising
7from the real property described in the document creating the
8assignment, regardless of whether the document is in the form
9of an absolute assignment, an absolute assignment conditioned
10upon default, an assignment as additional security, or any
11other form. The security interest in rents is separate and
12distinct from any security interest held by the assignee in the
13real property.
 
14    Section 5. Recordation; perfection of security interest in
15rents; priority of conflicting interests in rents.
16    (a) A document creating an assignment of rents may be
17submitted for recording in the county clerk or recorder's
18office in the same manner as any other document evidencing a
19conveyance of an interest in real property.
20    (b) Upon recording, the security interest in rents created
21by an assignment of rents is fully perfected, even if a
22provision of the document creating the assignment or law of
23this State other than this Act would preclude or defer
24enforcement of the security interest until the occurrence of a
25subsequent event, including a subsequent default of the

 

 

SB3810 Engrossed- 7 -LRB097 17588 AJO 62794 b

1assignor, the assignee's obtaining possession of the real
2property, or the appointment of a receiver.
3    (c) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d), a
4perfected security interest in rents takes priority over the
5rights of a person that, after the security interest is
6perfected:
7        (1) acquires a judicial lien against the rents or the
8    real property from which the rents arise; or
9        (2) purchases an interest in the rents or the real
10    property from which the rents arise.
11    (d) A perfected security interest in rents has priority
12over the rights of a person described in subsection (c) with
13respect to future advances to the same extent as the assignee's
14security interest in the real property has priority over the
15rights of that person with respect to future advances.
 
16    Section 6. Enforcement of security interest in rents.
17    (a) An assignee may enforce an assignment of rents using
18one or more of the methods specified in Sections 7, 8, and 9 or
19any other method sufficient to enforce the assignment under law
20of this State other than this Act.
21    (b) From the date of enforcement, the assignee or, in the
22case of enforcement by appointment of a receiver under Section
237, the receiver, is entitled to collect all rents that:
24        (1) have accrued but remain unpaid on that date; and
25        (2) accrue on or after that date, as those rents

 

 

SB3810 Engrossed- 8 -LRB097 17588 AJO 62794 b

1    accrue.
 
2    Section 7. Enforcement by appointment of receiver.
3    (a) An assignee is entitled to the appointment of a
4receiver for the real property subject to the assignment of
5rents if:
6        (1) the assignor is in default and:
7            (A) the assignor has agreed in a signed document to
8        the appointment of a receiver in the event of the
9        assignor's default;
10            (B) it appears likely that the real property may
11        not be sufficient to satisfy the secured obligation;
12            (C) the assignor has failed to turn over to the
13        assignee proceeds that the assignee was entitled to
14        collect; or
15            (D) a subordinate assignee of rents obtains the
16        appointment of a receiver for the real property; or
17        (2) other circumstances exist that would justify the
18    appointment of a receiver under law of this State other
19    than this Act.
20    (b) An assignee may file a petition with the circuit court
21of a county in which any portion of the premises is located for
22the appointment of a receiver in connection with an action:
23        (1) to foreclose the security instrument;
24        (2) for specific performance of the assignment;
25        (3) seeking a remedy on account of waste or threatened

 

 

SB3810 Engrossed- 9 -LRB097 17588 AJO 62794 b

1    waste of the real property subject to the assignment; or
2        (4) otherwise to enforce the secured obligation or the
3    assignee's remedies arising from the assignment.
4    (c) An assignee that files a petition under subsection (b)
5shall also give a copy of the petition in the manner specified
6in Section 3 to any other person that, 10 days before the date
7the petition is filed, held a recorded assignment of rents
8arising from the real property.
9    (d) If an assignee enforces an assignment of rents under
10this Section, the date of enforcement is the date on which the
11court enters an order appointing a receiver for the real
12property subject to the assignment.
13    (e) From the date of its appointment, a receiver is
14entitled to collect rents as provided in Section 6(b). The
15receiver also has the authority provided in the order of
16appointment and law of this State other than this Act.
17    (f) The following rules govern priority among receivers:
18        (1) If more than one assignee qualifies under this
19    Section for the appointment of a receiver, a receivership
20    requested by an assignee entitled to priority in rents
21    under this Act has priority over a receivership requested
22    by a subordinate assignee, even if a court has previously
23    appointed a receiver for the subordinate assignee.
24        (2) If a subordinate assignee obtains the appointment
25    of a receiver, the receiver may collect the rents and apply
26    the proceeds in the manner specified in the order

 

 

SB3810 Engrossed- 10 -LRB097 17588 AJO 62794 b

1    appointing the receiver until a receiver is appointed under
2    a senior assignment of rents.
 
3    Section 8. Enforcement by notification to assignor.
4    (a) Upon the assignor's default, or as otherwise agreed by
5the assignor, the assignee may give the assignor a notification
6demanding that the assignor pay over the proceeds of any rents
7that the assignee is entitled to collect under Section 6. The
8assignee shall also give a copy of the notification to any
9other person that, 10 days before the notification date, held a
10recorded assignment of rents arising from the real property.
11    (b) If an assignee enforces an assignment of rents under
12this Section, the date of enforcement is the date on which the
13assignor receives a notification under subsection (a).
14    (c) An assignee's failure to give a notification under
15subsection (a) to any person holding a recorded assignment of
16rents does not affect the effectiveness of the notification as
17to the assignor, but the other person is entitled to any relief
18permitted under law of this State other than this Act.
19    (d) An assignee that holds a security interest in rents
20solely by virtue of Section 4(a) may not enforce the security
21interest under this Section while the assignor occupies the
22real property as the assignor's primary residence.
 
23    Section 9. Enforcement by notification to tenant.
24    (a) Upon the assignor's default, or as otherwise agreed by

 

 

SB3810 Engrossed- 11 -LRB097 17588 AJO 62794 b

1the assignor, the assignee may give to a tenant of the real
2property a notification demanding that the tenant pay to the
3assignee all unpaid accrued rents and all unaccrued rents as
4they accrue. The assignee shall give a copy of the notification
5to the assignor and to any other person that, 10 days before
6the notification date, held a recorded assignment of rents

13    creating the assignment or other reasonable proof that the
14    assignment was made;
15        (3) state that the assignee has the right to collect
16    rents in accordance with the assignment;
17        (4) direct the tenant to pay to the assignee all unpaid
18    accrued rents and all unaccrued rents as they accrue;
19        (5) describe the manner in which subsections (c) and
20    (d) affect the tenant's payment obligations;
21        (6) provide the name and telephone number of a contact
22    person and an address to which the tenant can direct
23    payment of rents and any inquiry for additional information
24    about the assignment or the assignee's right to enforce the
25    assignment; and
26        (7) contain a statement that the tenant may consult a

 

 

SB3810 Engrossed- 12 -LRB097 17588 AJO 62794 b

1    lawyer if the tenant has questions about its rights and
2    obligations.
3    (b) If an assignee enforces an assignment of rents under
4this Section, the date of enforcement is the date on which the
5tenant receives a notification substantially complying with
6subsection (a).
7    (c) Subject to subsection (d) and any other claim or
8defense that a tenant has under law of this State other than
9this Act, following receipt of a notification substantially
10complying with subsection (a):
11        (1) a tenant is obligated to pay to the assignee all
12    unpaid accrued rents and all unaccrued rents as they
13    accrue, unless the tenant has previously received a
14    notification from another assignee of rents given by that
15    assignee in accordance with this Section and the other
16    assignee has not canceled that notification;
17        (2) unless the tenant occupies the premises as the
18    tenant's primary residence, a tenant that pays rents to the
19    assignor is not discharged from the obligation to pay rents
20    to the assignee;
21        (3) a tenant's payment to the assignee of rents then
22    due satisfies the tenant's obligation under the tenant's
23    agreement with the assignor to the extent of the payment
24    made; and
25        (4) a tenant's obligation to pay rents to the assignee
26    continues until the tenant receives a court order directing

 

 

SB3810 Engrossed- 13 -LRB097 17588 AJO 62794 b

1    the tenant to pay the rent in a different manner or a
2    signed document from the assignee canceling its
3    notification, whichever occurs first.
4    (d) A tenant that has received a notification under
5subsection (a) is not in default for nonpayment of rents
6accruing within 30 days after the date the notification is
7received before the earlier of:
8        (1) 10 days after the date the next regularly scheduled
9    rental payment would be due; or
10        (2) 30 days after the date the tenant receives the
11    notification.
12    (e) Upon receiving a notification from another creditor
13that is entitled to priority under Section 5(c) that the other
14creditor has enforced and is continuing to enforce its interest
15in rents, an assignee that has given a notification to a tenant
16under subsection (a) shall immediately give another
17notification to the tenant canceling the earlier notification.
18    (f) An assignee's failure to give a notification under
19subsection (a) to any person holding a recorded assignment of
20rents does not affect the effectiveness of the notification as
21to the assignor and those tenants receiving the notification.
22However, the person entitled to the notification is entitled to
23any relief permitted by law of this State other than this Act.
24    (g) An assignee that holds a security interest in rents
25solely by virtue of Section 4(a) may not enforce the security
26interest under this Section while the assignor occupies the

2protecting real property; claims and defenses of tenant.
3    (a) Unless otherwise agreed by the assignee, and subject to
4subsection (c), an assignee that collects rents following

8    (b) Unless a tenant has made an enforceable agreement not
9to assert claims or defenses, the right of the assignee to
10collect rents from the tenant is subject to the terms of the
