(c) If a lessor or the lessor's assignee voids a contract under the
provisions of this Section, and a tenant or occupant has not vacated the
premises within 5 days after receipt of a written notice to vacate the
premises, the lessor or the lessor's assignee may seek relief under Article
IX of the Code of Civil Procedure. Notwithstanding Sections 9-112, 9-113,
and 9-114 of the Code of Civil Procedure, judgment for costs
against the plaintiff seeking eviction under this Section
shall not be awarded to the defendant unless the action was brought by the
plaintiff in bad faith. An eviction action under this Section
shall not be deemed to be in bad faith if the plaintiff based his or her
cause of action on information provided to him or her by a law enforcement
agency or the State's Attorney.
(d) The provisions of this Section are enforceable only if the lessee or
occupant and the owner or owner's assignee have executed a lease addendum for
drug free housing as promulgated by the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development or a substantially similar document.
