Headquartered in Burr Ridge, Illinois, Codilis and Associates is a family of law firms with a broad presence in the Midwest. Focused on meeting clients' legal needs, Codilis & Associates provides counsel on foreclosure matters and representation in eviction cases. Courts issue eviction orders in Illinois in favor of landlords who want to evict tenants for non-payment of rent or violation of lease terms. An eviction order contains various parts. First is an identification of the circuit court issuing the order. This is usually the county circuit court where the eviction case was filed. Next, the order identifies the parties to the eviction by their full names. They are the plaintiff (landlord) and the defendant (tenants or occupants). Next to the parties' names is the case number as listed in the eviction complaint filed in court. Beneath the parties' names is a notice to defendants informing them that the order is a judgment against them and may appear in background checks. A defendant does not have to sign the order if he or she has an agreement with the plaintiff allowing him or her continued stay in the property or if the plaintiff has dismissed the eviction case. The eviction order states that the court gives the plaintiff possession of the property located at a specific address and that the defendants must move out of the property on or before a certain date and time. The order states that if the defendants do not move out by that date, the plaintiff can give the order to a sheriff who will effect the eviction. Further, the order reveals how much the plaintiff is owed in rent or assessments. If the plaintiff was awarded money in the eviction case (court costs and attorney fees), the order also lists these. The order ends with the date and signature of the judge.
