Part 5/9:
One tenant in the story believed they had the right to a 30-day notice in Illinois but was instead given only 10 days to vacate. She complained about being evicted for burning incense, which she claimed was part of her religion. She argued that her religious practices justified her actions and that the eviction process was unfair, despite clear lease violations.
This tenant also revealed she contacted a lawyer and used ChatGPT to research her legal options, which the narrator dismissively noted as a sign of naivety. The story implies that some tenants leverage systemic protections and misinformation to delay or avoid responsibilities, often at the expense of landlords who have limited recourse.
