About Nomad

Nomad is digital property management software for renting out your Illinois home yourself. You set the rent and choose the tenant; the platform handles listing syndication, screening, an Illinois-specific lease, rent collection and maintenance triage, backed by guaranteed rent and $500k in property protection. Track earnings and approve repairs from the owner's portal. Fees start at 4% of the lease, paid once up front.

Renting in Illinois

Illinois sets no cap on security deposits or late fees. To keep part of a deposit, send an itemized damage statement within 30 days after the tenant moves out, or after the lease ends if that's later. If you don't, the full deposit is due within 45 days of move-out. State law sets no notice period before entering. A month-to-month lease ends with 30 days' written notice. Chicago adds its own rules, including longer notice periods for longer tenancies.
