The security deposit interest section of The Chicago Residential Landlord Tenant Ordinance (RLTO) has been interpreted by the Illinois Supreme Court to impose strict-liability upon violator landlords. Other sections of the RLTO have also been interpreted by Illinois courts in decisions mostly favorable to renters. For both landlords and tenants, courts' interpretation of the RLTO has been strict, confined to the letter of the law.
