Cook County Enters General Administrative Orders Ending All Foreclosure and Eviction Moratoriums
Cook County Enters General Administrative
Orders Ending All Foreclosure and Eviction Moratoriums
Orders Ending All Foreclosure and Eviction Moratoriums
On October 7, 2021, the Presiding Judge of the Cook County Chancery Division entered General Administrative Order 2020-07 (GAO 2020-07), which, among other changes, allows for the immediate resumption of all residential foreclosure in their entirety. This includes cases previously stayed from moving to Judgment where a Covid Declaration response was received and sales on occupied properties. Also, COVID Declaration forms no longer need to be sent on any new foreclosure filings. GAO 2020-07 requires all Orders signed by Judge in each case to now include a future Court date, which will likely result in more required court appearances than we traditionally see in Cook County.
Additionally, the Governor rescinded the Eviction Moratorium on October 3, 2021 for the entire state, and Cook County entered General Administrative Order 2021-06 (GAO 2021-06) to follow that rescission. GAO 2021-06 vacates the prior local stay on Cook evictions, and it extends the enforcement of any orders for possession expiring on or before October 3, 2021, for 120 days or until February 1, 2022, whichever is earlier.
In light of the above changes, we are now scheduling judicial sales and preparing cases for judgment on all open files in Cook County. We anticipate that there may be longer delays than usual to obtain judgment, conduct sales, and approve sales due to the backlog of cases pending, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. We will monitor the courts and provide updates when more information is available. Please reach out to one of us below if you wish to discuss the above further.
