Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

Sec. 31.5.
Assignment of rents; perfection.
(a) In this Section:
"Assigning" includes granting, pledging, transferring, conveying, or
assigning an interest in rents.
"Assignment" includes grants, pledges, transfers, conveyances, or assignments
of an interest in rents.
"Assignor" or "assignee" includes, respectively: (i) grantor or grantee; (ii)
pledgor or pledgee; (iii) transferor or transferee; (iv) conveyor or conveyee;
(v) lender or borrower; and (vi) assignor or assignee. "Assignor" also means a
lessor or sublessor.
"Instrument" includes any written deed, grant, mortgage, deed or trust,
lease, assignment, release, or any other writing pertaining to land or real
property or any interest therein or appurtenant thereto, including an interest
in rents.
"Rents" means all items that constitute leases, rents, and profits arising
from real property under applicable State law.
(b) If an instrument assigning the interest of the assignor in rents arising
from the real property described in the instrument is recorded, pursuant to
this Act, in the county in which the real property is situated, then the
interest of the assignee in those rents is perfected upon that recordation
without the assignee taking any other affirmative action.
The recordation is constructive notice to subsequent purchasers, creditors,
and third parties of the content and effect of the assignment with the same
force and effect as any other duly recorded instrument or conveyance of an
interest in real property under Sections 30 and 31 of this Act.
From the time of the recordation, the assignee has a superior claim to the
rents that are subjected to the assignment, as against all parties whose claims
or interests arise or are perfected thereafter.
(c) This Section applies whether the assignment is absolute, conditional, or
intended as security.
(d) Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the mere recordation of an
assignment does not affect who is entitled, as between the assignor and the
assignee, to collect or receive rents until the assignee enforces the
assignment under applicable law.
(e) The fact that the assignee may permit the assignor to collect rents
under
the terms of an assignment does not affect the validity, enforceability, or
priority of an assignment perfected in the manner set forth in subsection
(b).
