4     Section 5. The Code of Civil Procedure is amended by
5 changing Section 9-110 as follows:
 
6     (735 ILCS 5/9-110)  (from Ch. 110, par. 9-110)
7     Sec. 9-110. Judgment for whole premises - Stay of
8 enforcement. If it appears on the the trial that the plaintiff
9 is entitled to the possession of the whole of the premises
10 claimed, judgment for the possession thereof and for costs
11 shall be entered in favor of the plaintiff. However, if the
12 action is brought under Article IX of this Code and is based
13 upon a breach of a contract entered into on or after July 1,
14 1962 for the purchase of such premises, the court, by order,
15 may stay the enforcement of the judgment for a period not to
16 exceed 60 days from the date of the judgment, or if the court
17 finds that the amount unpaid on the contract is less than 75%
18 of the original purchase price, then the court shall stay the
19 enforcement of the judgment for a period of 180 days from the
20 date of the judgment. The court may order a stay of less than
21 180 days (but in no event less than 60 days) if it is shown that

23 IX of this Act, granted the defendant previous extensions of

1 time to pay the amounts due under the contract, or for other
2 good cause shown. If during such period of stay the defendant
3 pays the entire amount then due and payable under the terms of
4 the contract other than such portion of the principal balance
5 due under the contract as would not be due had no default
6 occurred and costs and, if the contract provides therefor,
7 reasonable attorney's fees as fixed by the court, and cures all
8 other defaults then existing, the contract shall remain in
9 force the same as if no default had occurred. The relief
10 granted to a defendant by this Section shall not be exhausted
11 by a single use thereof but shall not be again available with
12 respect to the same contract for a period of 5 years from the
13 date of such judgment. Whenever defendant cures the default
14 under the contract pursuant to this Section, the defendant may
15 within the period of stay file a motion to vacate the judgment
16 in the court in which the judgment was entered, and, if the
17 court, upon the hearing of such motion, is satisfied that such
18 default has been cured, such judgment shall be vacated. Unless
19 defendant files such motion to vacate in the court or the
20 judgment is otherwise stayed, enforcement of the judgment may
21 proceed immediately upon the expiration of such period of stay
22 and all rights of the defendant in and to the premises and in
23 and to the real estate described in the contract are
24 terminated.
25     Nothing herein contained shall be construed as affecting
26 the right of a seller of such premises to any lawful remedy or
