Compliance Snapshot (Illinois)
State Requirements
Residential Real Property Disclosure Act
Illinois law (765 ILCS 77/1 et seq.) requires sellers of residential real property (1–4 dwellings) to provide a completed Residential Real Property Disclosure Report to the buyer **before** the signing of a written sale contract. In this report, the seller responds to a series of yes/no questions about the property’s condition (e.g., roof leaks, basement water, electrical/plumbing issues, pest infestations). The seller must disclose known material defects. If the seller knowingly fails to disclose a known defect, the buyer may sue within one year of possession. Illinois law also separately requires a **Radon Disclosure**: sellers must provide buyers with the Illinois Emergency Management Agency pamphlet on radon and disclose any known radon test results. Likewise, for homes built before 1978, Illinois’s Lead Poisoning Prevention Act compels providing the EPA lead hazard pamphlet (in addition to the federal requirement).
MLS Notices
MLS Listing Rules
Illinois is served by several MLSs (Midwest Real Estate Data/MRED covers Chicagoland). MLS rules require a valid listing agreement with the seller. MRED (and others) enforce the NAR Clear Cooperation policy: if a listing is publicly marketed, it must be submitted to the MLS within 1 business day. Most MLSs in Illinois require at least one photo on each listing and accurate entry of key fields (address, list price, room counts, etc.). Remarks must not include prohibited content (no mention of protected classes or personal info). Some Illinois MLSs also have specific rules, such as requiring disclosure in the MLS remarks if the seller’s agent is related to the seller, etc.
Federal Baseline
Lead-Based Paint Hazard Disclosure
Federal law (Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992) requires sellers of homes built before 1978 to disclose any known lead-based paint or lead hazards and provide buyers with the EPA’s lead hazard information pamphlet. Buyers must also be given a 10-day opportunity to conduct a lead paint inspection or waive that right.
Fair Housing Act (No Discriminatory Advertising)
Under the federal Fair Housing Act, sellers (and their agents) must not publish any advertisement for the listing that expresses a discriminatory preference based on protected classes (e.g. race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin). For example, statements such as 'no children' or other exclusions in home listings are unlawful.
