 1                        90TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY
 2                     CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT
 3                         ON SENATE BILL 408
 4    -------------------------------------------------------------
 5    -------------------------------------------------------------
 6        To the President of the Senate and  the  Speaker  of  the
 7    House of Representatives:
 8        We,  the  conference  committee appointed to consider the
 9    differences between the houses in relation to House Amendment
10    No. 1 to Senate Bill 408, recommend the following:
11        (1)  that the Senate concur in House Amendment No. 1; and
12        (2)  that Senate Bill 408, AS AMENDED, be further amended
13    by inserting after the enacting clause the following:
14        "Section 2.  The Code of Civil Procedure  is  amended  by
15    changing Sections 9-104.1 and 9-104.2 as follows:
16        (735 ILCS 5/9-104.1) (from Ch. 110, par. 9-104.1)
17        Sec.  9-104.1.   Demand;  Notice; Return; Condominium and
18    Contract Purchasers.
19        (a) In case there is a contract for the purchase of  such
20    lands  or  tenements  or in case of condominium property, the
21    demand shall give the purchaser under such  contract,  or  to
22    the  condominium  unit owner, as the case may be, at least 30
23    days to satisfy the terms of the demand before an  action  is
24    filed.   In  case of a condominium unit, the demand shall set
25    forth the amount claimed which must be paid within  the  time
26    prescribed  in the demand and the time period or periods when
27    the amounts were originally due, unless  the  demand  is  for
28    compliance  with  Section  18(n)  of the Condominium Property
29    Act, in which case the demand shall set forth the  nature  of
30    the  lease and memorandum of lease or the leasing requirement
31    not satisfied. The amount claimed shall  include  regular  or
32    special  assessments, late charges or interest for delinquent
                            -2-            LRB9002802WHmgccr1
 1    assessments,  and  attorneys'  fees  claimed   for   services
 2    incurred  prior  to  the  demand.  Attorneys' fees claimed by
 3    condominium associations in the demand shall  be  subject  to
 4    review  by  the  courts  in  any  forcible entry and detainer
 5    proceeding under subsection (b) of Section 9-111 of this Act.
 6    The demand shall  be  signed  by  the  person  claiming  such
 7    possession, his or her agent, or attorney.
 8        (b)  In the case of a condominium unit, the demand is not
 9    invalidated by partial payment of amounts due if the payments
10    do  not,  at  the end of the notice period, total the amounts
11    demanded in the notice for  common  expenses,  unpaid  fines,
12    interest,  late  charges,  reasonable  attorney fees incurred
13    prior to the initiation of any  court  action  and  costs  of
14    collection.   The  person  claiming possession, or his or her
15    agent or attorney, may, however, agree in writing to withdraw
16    the demand in exchange for  receiving  partial  payment.   To
17    prevent invalidation, the notice must prominently state:
18        "Only FULL PAYMENT of all amounts demanded in this notice
19    will  invalidate  the  demand,  unless  the  person  claiming
20    possession,  or  his  or  her  agent  or  attorney, agrees in
21    writing to withdraw the  demand  in  exchange  for  receiving
22    partial payment."
23        (c)  The  demand  set  forth  in  subsection  (a) of this
24    Section shall be served either personally upon such purchaser
25    or condominium unit owner or by sending the demand thereof by
26    registered or certified mail with return receipt requested to
27    the last known address of such purchaser or condominium  unit
28    owner  or  in  case no one is in the actual possession of the
29    premises, then by posting the same on the premises. When such
30    demand is made by an officer authorized to serve process, his
31    or her return is prima facie evidence of  the  facts  therein
32    stated  and  if  such  demand  is  made  by any person not an
33    officer, the return may be sworn to by the person serving the
34    same, and is then prima facie evidence of the  facts  therein
35    stated.  To be effective service under this Section, a demand
                            -3-            LRB9002802WHmgccr1
 1    sent by certified  or  registered  mail  to  the  last  known
 2    address  need not be received by the purchaser or condominium
 3    unit  owner.  No  other  demand  shall  be  required   as   a
 4    prerequisite  to  filing  an  action  under  paragraph (7) of
 5    subsection (a) of Section 9-102 of this Act. Service  of  the
 6    demand  by  registered  or  certified  mail  shall  be deemed
 7    effective upon deposit in the United States mail with  proper
 8    postage prepaid and addressed as provided in this subsection.

10        (735 ILCS 5/9-104.2) (from Ch. 110, par. 9-104.2)
11        Sec. 9-104.2.  Demand - Notice - Termination of Lease and
12    Possession of a Condominium.
13        (a)  Unless the Board of Managers is seeking to terminate
14    the  right  of  possession of a tenant or other occupant of a
15    unit under  an  existing  lease  or  other  arrangement  with
16    between  a  tenant  and  the  owner  of a unit, no demand nor
17    summons need be served upon the tenant or other  occupant  in
18    connection  with  an  action  brought  under paragraph (7) of
19    subsection (a) of Section 9-102 of this Article.
20        (a-5)  The Board of Managers may seek  to  terminate  the
21    right  of  possession of a tenant or other occupant of a unit
22    under an existing lease  or  other  arrangement  between  the
23    tenant  or other occupant and the defaulting owner of a unit,
24    either within the same action against the  unit  owner  under
25    paragraph  (7)  of  subsection  (a)  of Section 9-102 of this
26    Article or independently thereafter under other paragraphs of
27    that subsection.  If within the same action  under  paragraph
28    (7),  the  tenant or other occupant shall also be served with
29    30 days prior written notice and subsequent  summons  in  the
30    same manner and substantially the same form as the unit owner
31    as  provided  in  this  Article.   If however an action under
32    paragraph (7) was brought against the defaulting  unit  owner
33    only,   and  after  obtaining  judgment  for  possession  and
34    expiration of the stay on enforcement the Board  of  Managers
                            -4-            LRB9002802WHmgccr1
 1    elects  not  to  accept a tenant or occupant in possession as
 2    its own, written notice of  the  judgment  against  the  unit
 3    owner  and demand to quit the premises shall be served on the
 4    tenant or other occupant in the manner provided under Section
 5    9-211 at least 10 days prior  to  bringing  suit  to  recover
 6    possession from the tenant or other occupant.
 7        (b)  If a judgment for possession is granted to the Board
 8    of  Managers  under  Section  9-111, any interest of the unit
 9    owner to receive rents under any lease arrangement  shall  be
10    deemed  assigned  to the Board of Managers until such time as
11    the judgment is vacated.
12        (c)  If a judgment for possession is entered,  the  Board
13    of  Managers  may  obtain  from  the  clerk  of  the court an
14    informational certificate notifying any tenants  not  parties
15    to  the  proceeding  of  the  assignment  of the unit owner's
16    interest in the lease arrangement to the Board of Managers as
17    a result of the entry of  the  judgment  for  possession  and
18    stating  that  any rent hereinafter due the unit owner or his
19    agent under the lease arrangement should be paid to the Board
20    of Managers until further order of court.  If the tenant pays
21    his rent to the association pursuant to the entry of  such  a
22    judgement  for  possession,  the  unit owner may not sue said
23    tenant for any such amounts the tenant pays the association.
24        (c-5)  In an action against the unit owner and lessee  to
25    evict  a  lessee  for  failure  of  the  lessor/owner  of the
26    condominium unit to  comply  with  the  leasing  requirements
27    prescribed by subsection (n) of Section 18 of the Condominium
28    Property  Act  or  by  the declaration, bylaws, and rules and
29    regulations of the condominium, or against a lessee  for  any
30    other   breach   by  the  lessee  of  any  covenants,  rules,
31    regulations, or bylaws of the condominium, the  demand  shall
32    give the lessee at least 10 days to quit and vacate the unit.
33    The notice shall be substantially in the following form:
34             "TO   A.B.  You   are   hereby   notified   that  in
35        consequence of (here insert lessor-owner name) failure to
                            -5-            LRB9002802WHmgccr1
 1        comply  with  the  leasing  requirements  prescribed   by
 2        Section  18(n)  of the Condominium Property Act or by the
 3        declaration, bylaws, and rules  and  regulations  of  the
 4        condominium,  or  your  default  of any covenants, rules,
 5        regulations or bylaws of the condominium, in (here insert
 6        the  character  of  the  default)  of  the  premises  now
 7        occupied by you, being (here described the premises)  the
 8        Board  of  Managers  of  (here  describe the condominium)
 9        Association elects to terminate your lease, and  you  are
10        hereby notified to quit and vacate same within 10 days of
11        this date.".
12        The  demand shall be signed by the Board of Managers, its
13    agent, or attorney and shall be served either personally upon
14    the lessee with a copy to the unit owner or  by  sending  the
15    demand  thereof  by  registered or certified mail with return
16    receipt requested to the unit occupied by the lessee  and  to
17    the last known address of the unit owner, and no other demand
18    of  termination  of  such  tenancy shall  be required.  To be
19    effective service  under  this  Section,  a  demand  sent  by
20    certified   mail,  return  receipt  requested,  to  the  unit
21    occupied by the lessee and to the last known address  of  the
22    unit  owner need not be received by the lessee or condominium
23    unit owner.
24        (d)  Nothing in  this  Section  9-104.2  is  intended  to
25    confer  upon  a  Board of Managers any greater authority with
26    respect to possession of a unit after  a  judgment  than  was
27    previously established by this Act.

30    (3), by changing "probable of assertion"  to  "likely  to  be
31    asserted" and by changing "mangers" to "managers".
