Warning: Don't sign that eviction notice waiver without reading the fine print first

My landlord slid a paper into my renewal lease that said I waived my right to a 60-day notice before eviction court, and I only caught it because a tenant rights paralegal told me to look for the word 'summary' in the header - has anyone else found shady clauses hidden in Chicago leases?

That 60-day notice thing sounds overly dramatic honestly. I've signed plenty of leases with faster eviction timelines and never had a problem, most landlords just want their rent on time.
