Chicago Lease Failure to Provide Heat Disclosure - Remedy
Hey,
I always include the heat disclosure on my leases. It only takes a few clicks online.
What are the remedies for a Tenant where the Heat Disclosure wasn't provided? I know of a case with a lease starting in August. The heat hasn't been used, but the disclosure wasn't provided.
Can they terminate the Lease by notification?
Can they sue to get all of their money back?
Or,
Is this a minor offense of the
Chicago Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance (RLTO) and remedy is just a fee?

I am sure that the ordinance has a general remedies clause, so if a specific remedy isn't provided, that would apply.
I never found reading the contract, or law, first, to be ridiculous or useless. Maybe that's just me.
Oh, and when I read said law or contract, I do so for comprehension. Works wonders.
