We have cable or YouTube TV.Can't be cheap on this.We even advertise if someone else isn't offering cable channels what else are they cutting corners on?

Landlords in illinois for sfh rentals don't provide snow removal or lawn cutting so thats not an issue.   

In response, I had a plumber and a water restoration company come to assess the situation.The restoration company cut into the drywall, and the plumber thoroughly inspected all the pipes, performed a leak test, and conducted a pressure test.

You can’t close discussions on here, but this is a clear cut case with my attorney.

Most spend too much of their time and resources on the set up and completely ignore the day to day responsibilities and/or cut corners and costs where greater attention and resources should be spent.  

By the sounds of it you are going to have your work cut out for you. 

It's never worth it to cut corners on permitting because it will cost you far more in the long run.

"Not satisfied," isn't going to cut it.

Someone has a gas stove and the new rental only has electricity; someone has a 33 in fridge and only a 30 in fridge fits; counter space is cut for slide in, not drop in; etc.

@Jason Stofer if you don't have a support structure to tap into... the unhappy answer is that there is no short cut.
