Description chicago notice remedy

This form is used by a tenant to inform the landlord of a problem with the lease premises, specifically failure of the heating system. With this form, the tenant notifies the landlord that he/she/it has breached the statutory duty to maintain the property in tenantable condition and demands that immediate repairs be made. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice of Broken, Unsafe, or Inadequate Heater and Demand for Immediate Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant issue regarding the heater in my rented premises located at [Rental Property Address]. The purpose of this letter is to serve as formal notice that the heater in the premises is broken, unsafe, and/or inadequate, and to demand for its immediate repair or replacement as per my rights as a tenant under the laws of Chicago, Illinois. As winter progresses, it has become evident that the heating system within the rented premises is malfunctioning. I have attempted to adjust the thermostat, checked for any obvious issues with circuit breakers or power supply, but the system continues to fail in providing adequate heat. This has resulted in discomfort, reduced livability, and in some instances potential health risks due to exposure to freezing temperatures. In light of this situation, I am concerned for my safety and wellbeing as well as that of my family and guests. Prior to reaching out to you directly, I consulted the Chicago Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance (CRL TO), which provides tenants with certain rights and landlords with specific obligations. Section 5-12-110 of the CRL TO guarantees that a landlord must maintain the premises in compliance with all applicable health and safety requirements. The failure of the heater to function properly clearly constitutes a violation of this provision. I kindly request that you take immediate action to remedy this situation. I propose that a professional HVAC technician thoroughly inspect and repair the heater. If the technician determines that the system is beyond repair, I request a prompt replacement of the heater with a fully functional unit. It is crucial to ensure that the heating system is swiftly fixed or replaced so that it works reliably throughout the remainder of winter. I would appreciate it if you could inform me of the date by which arrangements for repairs or replacement will be made. Additionally, please let me know if alternative temporary heating options are available in the meantime or if I should arrange for my own accommodations during the repair/replacement process. Please be advised that my continuing tenancy is dependent on having a habitable and safe living environment, as explicitly stated in the CRL TO. Given the seriousness of this matter, I will be forced to pursue all legal remedies available to me if the necessary repairs or replacement are not addressed promptly. I trust that you understand the urgency and importance of rectifying this issue without delay. I hope we can resolve this matter amicably and maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship. Furthermore, I look forward to your immediate attention to this matter and your prompt response. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
