19    Service or with a commercially reasonable delivery
20    service, properly addressed to the intended recipient's
21    address as specified in subsection (b), with first-class

24    facsimile transmission, electronic mail, or other
25    electronic transmission, by sending it to the recipient in

 

 

09700SB3810sam002- 5 -LRB097 17588 JWD 67593 a

1    the agreed manner at the address specified in the
2    agreement.
3    (b) The following rules determine the proper address for
4giving a notification under subsection (a):
5        (1) A person giving a notification to an assignee shall
6    use the address for notices to the assignee provided in the
7    document creating the assignment of rents, but, if the
8    assignee has provided the person giving the notification
9    with a more recent address for notices, the person giving
10    the notification shall use that address.
11        (2) A person giving a notification to an assignor shall
12    use the address for notices to the assignor provided in the
13    document creating the assignment of rents, but, if the
14    assignor has provided the person giving the notification
15    with a more recent address for notices, the person giving
16    the notification shall use that address.
17        (3) If a tenant's agreement with an assignor provides
18    an address for notices to the tenant and the person giving
19    notification has received a copy of the agreement or knows
20    the address for notices specified in the agreement, the
21    person giving the notification shall use that address in
22    giving a notification to the tenant. Otherwise, the person
23    shall use the address of the premises covered by the
24    agreement.
25    (c) If a person giving a notification pursuant to this Act
26and the recipient have agreed to the method for giving a

 

 

09700SB3810sam002- 6 -LRB097 17588 JWD 67593 a

1notification, any notification must be given by that method.
2    (d) If a notification is received by the recipient, it is
3effective even if it was not given in accordance with
4subsection (a) or (c).
 
5    Section 4. Security instrument creates assignment of
6rents; assignment of rents creates security interest.
7    (a) An enforceable security instrument creates an
8assignment of rents arising from the real property described in
9the security instrument, unless the security instrument
10provides otherwise.
11    (b) An assignment of rents creates a presently effective
12security interest in all accrued and unaccrued rents arising
13from the real property described in the document creating the
14assignment, regardless of whether the document is in the form
15of an absolute assignment, an absolute assignment conditioned
16upon default, an assignment as additional security, or any
17other form. The security interest in rents is separate and
18distinct from any security interest held by the assignee in the
19real property.
 
20    Section 5. Recordation; perfection of security interest in
21rents; priority of conflicting interests in rents.
22    (a) A document creating an assignment of rents may be
23submitted for recording in the county clerk or recorder's
24office in the same manner as any other document evidencing a

 

 

09700SB3810sam002- 7 -LRB097 17588 JWD 67593 a

1conveyance of an interest in real property.
2    (b) Upon recording, the security interest in rents created
3by an assignment of rents is fully perfected, even if a
4provision of the document creating the assignment or law of
5this State other than this Act would preclude or defer
6enforcement of the security interest until the occurrence of a
7subsequent event, including a subsequent default of the
8assignor, the assignee's obtaining possession of the real
9property, or the appointment of a receiver.
10    (c) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d), a
11perfected security interest in rents takes priority over the
12rights of a person that, after the security interest is
13perfected:
14        (1) acquires a judicial lien against the rents or the
15    real property from which the rents arise; or
16        (2) purchases an interest in the rents or the real
17    property from which the rents arise.
18    (d) A perfected security interest in rents has priority
19over the rights of a person described in subsection (c) with
20respect to future advances to the same extent as the assignee's
21security interest in the real property has priority over the
22rights of that person with respect to future advances.
 
23    Section 6. Enforcement of security interest in rents.
24    (a) An assignee may enforce an assignment of rents using
25one or more of the methods specified in Sections 7, 8, and 9 or

 

 

09700SB3810sam002- 8 -LRB097 17588 JWD 67593 a

1any other method sufficient to enforce the assignment under law
2of this State other than this Act.
3    (b) From the date of enforcement, the assignee or, in the
4case of enforcement by appointment of a receiver under Section
57, the receiver, is entitled to collect all rents that:
6        (1) have accrued but remain unpaid on that date; and
7        (2) accrue on or after that date, as those rents
8    accrue.
 
9    Section 7. Enforcement by appointment of receiver.
10    (a) An assignee is entitled to the appointment of a
11receiver for the real property subject to the assignment of
12rents if:
13        (1) the assignor is in default and:
14            (A) the assignor has agreed in a signed document to
15        the appointment of a receiver in the event of the
16        assignor's default;
17            (B) it appears likely that the real property may
18        not be sufficient to satisfy the secured obligation;
19            (C) the assignor has failed to turn over to the
20        assignee proceeds that the assignee was entitled to
21        collect; or
22            (D) a subordinate assignee of rents obtains the
23        appointment of a receiver for the real property; or
24        (2) other circumstances exist that would justify the
25    appointment of a receiver under law of this State other

 

 

09700SB3810sam002- 9 -LRB097 17588 JWD 67593 a

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

 

 

09700SB3810sam002- 10 -LRB097 17588 JWD 67593 a

1    requested by an assignee entitled to priority in rents
2    under this Act has priority over a receivership requested
3    by a subordinate assignee, even if a court has previously
4    appointed a receiver for the subordinate assignee.
5        (2) If a subordinate assignee obtains the appointment
6    of a receiver, the receiver may collect the rents and apply
7    the proceeds in the manner specified in the order
8    appointing the receiver until a receiver is appointed under
9    a senior assignment of rents.
 
10    Section 8. Enforcement by notification to assignor.
11    (a) Upon the assignor's default, or as otherwise agreed by
12the assignor, the assignee may give the assignor a notification
13demanding that the assignor pay over the proceeds of any rents
14that the assignee is entitled to collect under Section 6. The
15assignee shall also give a copy of the notification to any
16other person that, 10 days before the notification date, held a
17recorded assignment of rents arising from the real property.
18    (b) If an assignee enforces an assignment of rents under
19this Section, the date of enforcement is the date on which the
20assignor receives a notification under subsection (a).
21    (c) An assignee's failure to give a notification under
22subsection (a) to any person holding a recorded assignment of
23rents does not affect the effectiveness of the notification as
24to the assignor, but the other person is entitled to any relief
25permitted under law of this State other than this Act.

 

 

09700SB3810sam002- 11 -LRB097 17588 JWD 67593 a

1    (d) An assignee that holds a security interest in rents
2solely by virtue of Section 4(a) may not enforce the security
3interest under this Section while the assignor occupies the
4real property as the assignor's primary residence.
 
5    Section 9. Enforcement by notification to tenant.
6    (a) Upon the assignor's default, or as otherwise agreed by
7the assignor, the assignee may give to a tenant of the real
8property a notification demanding that the tenant pay to the
9assignee all unpaid accrued rents and all unaccrued rents as
10they accrue. The assignee shall give a copy of the notification

7        (7) contain a statement that the tenant may consult a
8    lawyer if the tenant has questions about its rights and
9    obligations.

15defense that a tenant has under law of this State other than

17complying with subsection (a):
18        (1) a tenant is obligated to pay to the assignee all
19    unpaid accrued rents and all unaccrued rents as they

21    notification from another assignee of rents given by that
22    assignee in accordance with this Section and the other
23    assignee has not canceled that notification;
24        (2) unless the tenant occupies the premises as the
25    tenant's primary residence, a tenant that pays rents to the
26    assignor is not discharged from the obligation to pay rents

 

 

09700SB3810sam002- 13 -LRB097 17588 JWD 67593 a

1    to the assignee;
2        (3) a tenant's payment to the assignee of rents then
3    due satisfies the tenant's obligation under the tenant's
4    agreement with the assignor to the extent of the payment
5    made; and

7    continues until the tenant receives a court order directing

23under subsection (a) shall immediately give another
24notification to the tenant canceling the earlier notification.

26subsection (a) to any person holding a recorded assignment of

 

 

09700SB3810sam002- 14 -LRB097 17588 JWD 67593 a

1rents does not affect the effectiveness of the notification as

4any relief permitted by law of this State other than this Act.
5    (g) An assignee that holds a security interest in rents

2assignee under Section 12 after enforcement, the payment of

5        (1) make the assignee a mortgagee in possession of the
6    real property;
7        (2) make the assignee an agent of the assignor;
8        (3) constitute an election of remedies that precludes a
9    later action to enforce the secured obligation;

12payment of expenses of protecting or maintaining the real
13property subject to the assignment.
14    (b) Unless a tenant has made an enforceable agreement not
15to assert claims or defenses, the right of the assignee to
16collect rents from the tenant is subject to the terms of the
17agreement between the assignor and tenant and any claim or
18defense arising from the assignor's nonperformance of that
19agreement.
20    (c) This Act does not limit the standing or right of a
21tenant to request a court to appoint a receiver for the real
22property subject to the assignment or to seek other relief on

15proceeds is perfected if its security interest in rents is

24identifiable cash proceeds is subordinate to a conflicting
25interest that is perfected by control under Article 9 but has
26priority over a conflicting interest that is perfected other
