Illinois: security deposit rules for 5+ unit properties
Focused scenario guide for Illinois — built only from structured corpus fields so it can add detail the general state page does not expand.
Confidence: PRIMARY min_unit_count
When this scenario applies
Corpus applicability gate (min_unit_count): Security Deposit Return Act historically 5+ units. Structured threshold: 5 or more units (value_number=5). This is a property-size condition from the Wherewithal statute research corpus — not a full restatement of every Illinois rule.

What changes under this condition
When this unit-count condition is met, the Security Deposit Return Act framing in the corpus applies (deadline: 30d itemize / 45d full return if no proper statement). Corpus flags: ⚠⚠ Act = 5+ units only; Chicago RLTO separate. Below-threshold properties may not be covered by that Act — the general state page summarizes the full row.
