(765 ILCS 721/20) (This Section may contain text from a Public Act with a delayed effective date ) Sec. 20. Rebuttable presumption. In an action by or against the tenant, if within one year before the alleged act of retaliation there is evidence that the retaliation was against tenant's conduct that is protected under this Act, that evidence creates a rebuttable presumption that the landlord's conduct was retaliatory. The presumption does not arise if the protected tenant activity was initiated after the alleged act of retaliation. (Source: P.A. 103-831, eff. 1-1-25.) |
