What this form is
The form identifies the premises and gives the tenant a place to authorize an owner, manager, agent, or their employee to enter while the tenant is absent. It states that the intended entry is for an inspection by the City of North Chicago Department of Economic and Community Development, and asks the tenant to certify they are a legal signatory on the lease. The tenant completes and notarizes it for the planned entry.
