Online Illinois Residential Leasing Agent Continuing Education Course

Anyone who holds an active residential leasing agent license in the state of Illinois must complete the required continuing education course prior to renewing.

Note: residential leasing agents renewing for the first time (licensed on or after May 1, 2024) are exempt from completing CE.

Illinois residential leasing agent licenses are renewed every two years on July 31st of even numbered years.

The deadline for completing residential leasing agent continuing education is the same as the license renewal date, however, the course should be completed in advance of submitting your online license renewal. The next residential leasing agent renewal date is July 31st, 2026. The IDFPR typically begins accepting online renewal applications 90 days before the renewal date.

Note: continuing education earned for disciplinary purposes may not be used toward your CE renewal requirements.
