What is the maximum amount of ownership a licensee can have in a property before disclosure is required?

In Illinois, there is no minimum or maximum percentage of ownership that requires a licensee working as a leasing agent to disclose their ownership interest in a property. This means that any ownership interest, regardless of how small, is subject to full disclosure to clients and customers. This regulation aims to ensure transparency in real estate transactions and maintain ethical standards within the industry.

Understanding that there's no percentage threshold emphasizes the importance of ethical practices in leasing, as even a small interest could potentially influence a lease or a rental agreement. Consequently, a licensing agent must be vigilant in disclosing any ownership to avoid conflicts of interest or misunderstandings.
