Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Illinois
I'm about to file a complaint for unpaid rent. At the first hearing of the complaint if the tenant has a lawyer file for a jury demand. What can I do to have judge trial and get an order to possession and judgment for deficient rent at that hearing rather than wait any longer?

You can argue for a bench trial if an oral motion for a jury trial is proposed. Usually at the first appearance, defendant doesn't show up and you get a default judgment for money and an order returning possession to you by a date certain.
