📰 News we're reading

• Village Finances Surge Ahead Of Projections (journal-topics.com) — Palatine's mid-year finances are running ahead of budget, with strong sales and income tax revenues supporting major road, sidewalk, and utility projects across town. Village officials are planning a mostly flat 2027 property tax levy while returning millions in TIF surplus to local schools, the park district, and other agencies, with key public budget meetings scheduled in November and December.
   

• Tenants signed lease, agent then requested commission, attorney canceled (biggerpockets.com) — A Palatine landlord describes how tenants backed out of a signed lease after their attorney used a review clause, leaving the property vacant again. The owner is asking other Illinois landlords whether lost rent can realistically be recovered, whether the agent's conduct merits a complaint, and how to better protect future Palatine rentals during attorney review.
