FB Marketplace just wrecked your lease
Aug 14, 2025"It was a can't miss deal."
Facebook Marketplace.
Camper big enough to block the sun.
Price so low it probably came with a free raccoon.
Now, tenant's got it parked sideways in the driveway.
Landlord loses it.
Prints "No RVs!" and staples to the front door.
Next week?
Camper still there.
Trouble is:
The lease doesn't mention RVs.
Here’s the truth:
You can’t add terms to a lease without a tenant’s consent.
The only way to make new terms stick is if the tenant agrees.
Otherwise, that camper’s not going anywhere.
Just like everything else your lease forgot to cover.

That's why Illinois' most up-to-date lease covers your own nutty tenants… and the ones your future tenants learned from.
