Bill Title: Amends the Code of Civil Procedure. In provisions concerning leased premises used in furtherance of a criminal offense, provides that a written lease shall contain language that the commission of any act by the lessee, occupant, household member of the lessee or occupant, or guest of the lessee or occupant that would constitute a felony or Class A misdemeanor shall give the owner or lessor the right to void the lease and recover possession of the leased premises. Provides that under specified circumstances, an owner or lessor may assign to the State's Attorney of the county or the corporation counsel of the municipality in which the property is located (instead of the State's Attorney) the right to bring a forcible entry and detainer action on behalf of the owner or lessor.
