Legal Representation for Apartment and Multi-Family Transactions in Northern Illinois

Purchasing or selling a multi-unit residential building comes with added layers of legal, financial, and operational complexity. At The Real Estate Law Firm, we guide investors, landlords, developers, and property owners through every stage of a multi-unit real estate transaction—from due diligence and purchase agreements to closing and post-sale compliance.

Whether you’re acquiring your first duplex or selling a large apartment complex, our attorneys provide the strategic legal support you need to protect your investment and avoid costly mistakes.

Legal Services for Buyers and Sellers of Multi-Unit Properties

Multi-family buildings are not like standard residential homes. These properties often come with multiple tenants, existing lease agreements, zoning considerations, and potential liabilities. Our firm handles every detail so your transaction proceeds smoothly and your interests remain protected.

We assist clients with:

• Reviewing existing leases and occupancy records
  
  

• Evaluating rent rolls, income statements, and maintenance costs
  
  

• Conducting title searches to uncover liens, lawsuits, or encumbrances
  
  

• Researching zoning regulations and land use restrictions
  
  

• Negotiating purchase and sale agreements
  
  

• Drafting and reviewing operating agreements for LLCs or joint ownership
  
  

With our real estate and business law experience, we’re uniquely positioned to support both investors and owner-operators seeking legal clarity and long-term profitability.

Legal Support Beyond the Closing Table

Owning and operating a multi-unit property comes with its own legal responsibilities. Our firm provides continued counsel to clients post-purchase, helping you navigate local landlord-tenant laws and safeguard your property’s value.

We assist with:

• Drafting or revising residential lease agreements
  
  

• Developing tenant policies and house rules
  
  

• Ensuring compliance with fair housing laws and rental ordinances
  
  

• Addressing tenant disputes, lease violations, and evictions
  
  

• Advising on property transfers, asset protection, and succession planning
  
  

Whether you manage your building independently or partner with a property management firm, our legal guidance helps you stay compliant and avoid unnecessary legal exposure.
