Dear ________________________________________,
I have the following problems in my apartment that need to be taken care of:
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
This problem is a violation of the Chicago Residential Landlord Tenant Ordinance and my lease
agreement. Therefore, I am requesting that you remedy this problem within 14 days. If the problem is
not fixed within 14 days, I will deduct a portion of my rent for each day after the 14 days that the
problem remains. The amount I withhold will reflect the reduced value of my apartment. I will continue
to make this deduction until the problem is fixed.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
________________________________________ (tenant’s name)
