The Illinois 10 Day Notice to Quit is a free download used when a tenant has defaulted on the terms of a lease agreement other than for nonpayment of rent. This notice provides the tenant with 10 days’ written notice that the tenancy will terminate due to a lease violation. Illinois law does not require a landlord to offer an opportunity to cure unless the lease itself provides one, so this notice may be used to terminate the tenancy without allowing correction of the violation.
