According to the Illinois Administrative Code 295.2010(a) the residents or their representatives may terminate their assisted living residency immediately upon providing notice to the establishment in the following circumstances:

• Abuse
• Neglect
• Financial Exploitation
• Imminent danger of life, health or safety that is caused by the establishment

If the assisted living residents pass away and upon removal of their personal belongings from the unit, the lease agreement will terminate.

Under any circumstances, the resident or their representative may provide a 30-day written notice to terminate the residency of the resident.

Assisted living programs should review their occupancy or lease agreements/contracts to ensure these clauses are included as well as reviewing any applicable policies and procedures.
