Chicago Illinois Letter from Tenant to Landlord containing Notice that Premises Leaks During Rain and Demand for Repair Date: [Insert Date] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you about a significant issue with the property I am currently renting from you located at [insert property address]. Specifically, there is a persistent problem with leaks within the premises whenever it rains. I first noticed these leaks during the recent rainstorms in Chicago. Despite my efforts to control the situation by placing buckets and towels to collect the water, the leaks have caused damage to my personal belongings and are affecting my overall quality of life as a tenant. The leaks have not only resulted in water damage to furniture and electronics, but they have also created a potential hazard, posing a risk to my health and safety. Given the gravity of the situation, I kindly request that you take immediate action to address this issue and arrange for the necessary repairs to be conducted by a professional contractor. These repairs should aim to identify the root cause of the leak and rectify any related damage effectively, ensuring the prevention of any further leaks or water-related issues in the future. I would appreciate it if you could provide me with a reasonable timeframe for the repairs to be completed. Please note that it is my right as a tenant to reside in a safe and habitable environment, as defined by the Illinois landlord-tenant laws. Failure to fulfill your obligations as a landlord in ensuring the habitability of the premises puts me in a compromised position, which may necessitate further legal action if this issue remains unresolved. As per the terms of our lease agreement, it is your responsibility to maintain the premises in good condition and promptly attend to necessary repairs. However, if you do not fulfill your duties as a landlord within a reasonable timeframe, I reserve the right to explore various legal options available to me under relevant laws, including seeking reimbursement for damaged property, withholding rent, or terminating the lease agreement. I request that you acknowledge receipt of this letter within 48 hours to confirm that you are aware of the urgency and importance of this matter. Additionally, please keep an open line of communication to update me on the progress and expected timeline for the repairs. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I hope we can resolve this issue amicably and quickly, ensuring that I can continue to reside in a safe and comfortable home as I originally intended when signing the lease.
