Appellate Court of Illinois

In a forcible entry and detainer action brought under the Illinois Forcible Entry and Detainer Act, order granting possession of defendant's apartment to plaintiff as a sanction for her failure to pay use and occupancy charges during the pendency of the underlying action is reversed where the trial court's order defied the procedural framework and due process guarantees of the Act and cannot be upheld as a valid exercise of a court's inherent authority to sanction.
