How to Find a Pest-Free Apartment in Chicago
Finding a pest-free apartment in Chicago can feel challenging, but StreetSmart makes it easy. We've analyzed city violation records and 311 complaints for all 17,850+ Chicago buildings to identify those with zero pest violations on record.
What We Track
Our pest-free designation covers all major pest types:
- Cockroaches: The most common urban pest, often found in older buildings
- Bedbugs: A serious problem that requires professional treatment
- Mice: Common in ground-floor units and buildings near restaurants
- Rats: More common in certain neighborhoods and near construction sites
Tips for Staying Pest-Free
Even in a building with a clean record, you can take steps to prevent pest issues:
- Inspect the apartment carefully before signing a lease
- Ask the landlord about pest history and prevention measures
- Keep your unit clean and store food properly
- Report any pest sightings to your landlord immediately
- Seal any gaps around pipes, outlets, and doors
Chicago Tenant Rights Regarding Pests
Under Chicago's Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance (RLTO), landlords in buildings with 6+ units are responsible for pest extermination. If your landlord fails to address a pest problem, you can file a 311 complaint and the issue will be tracked.
