Laid-Off Renters Beg City, Landlords For Relief As April 1 Nears, But A Rent Freeze Is Not Coming: ‘I Can’t Even Afford Groceries’ – Block Club Chicago

As of Monday afternoon, a petition calling for Mayor Lori Lightfoot to freeze rent had drawn more than 14,000 signatures, but the mayor does not have the legal authority to enact a rent freeze due to state laws, a city spokesperson said. The petition also calls for the city to freeze mortgages and utility payments and to ban new filings for evictions and foreclosures.
