Tenants’ Rights in Cook County
Security Deposit Disputes • Early Lease Termination • Tenant Advocacy
Cook County has some of the strongest tenant protections in the country—but those rights are only valuable if you know how to use them. That’s where we come in.
Brabender Law is one of the few firms in Chicago that focuses heavily on tenant representation. We’ve helped hundreds of renters recover wrongfully withheld security deposits, negotiate early lease exits, and stand up to landlords who violate their obligations.
- Free consultations for security deposit cases
- Fast turnaround on demand letters and litigation
- Transparent fees for most tenant services
We also handle other housing-related disputes on a selective basis, including retaliation, habitability, and illegal lockouts—especially when clients are proactive and willing to invest in enforcing their rights.
