They cannot charge you ANY additional fees without your consent UNLESS they are written in your lease. Simply inform the leasing agent to point out where in your lease it states all the additional fee information. If they cannot find it, you are not legally required to pay for it.

Can a landlord charge you for rent money if you did not sign the lease in IL?
I'm no lawyer so I can't give you a definitive answer, but ... The answer may depend on whether the landlord has accepted rent form you before. If you are living on the landlord's property and you have paid him rent and he as accepted it, that may be enough for you to claim the rights of a tenant and to take on the responsibility (to pay). Also, it would matter if you signed some kind of sub-lease with the tenant whose name is on the lease. If you don't live there and are just a guest, you don't pay rent.

Can a landlord break lease do to short sale?
Landlords give all sorts of crazy reasons for wanting to break leases. This is one of the strangest I have ever heard. A lease is a legal contract. It may contain a clause describing how the landlord can break it. The landlord may have sold the building for a whole lot of money. If he can get you out without having to pay you to break the lease then he gets to keep more money. His short sale does not involve you. He has a different motive. His short sale does not give him the right to break a lease. Your problem is your lease with him.

My daughter was evicted from her boyfriend's apt when he went to jail How can she petition for a court order to get her possessions out?
Was your daughter's name on the lease? Did she fail to pay her rent? If the boyfriend didn't owe the landlord money she can sue the landlord for the amount of her possessions. If her name was not on the lease she stands the risk of losing her belongings.
