California: In California, landlords are generally required to address repairs within 30 days for non-emergency issues. Emergency repairs, such as broken heating systems during cold weather, must be handled immediately​ (TurboTax Support).
If, after 14 days of being notified in writing, your landlord fails to make needed repairs, Illinois law allows some tenants to repair and deduct. This means you can pay to have the repairs made by a licensed professional and deduct the cost from their rent.
Be as specific as possible about what the issue is, how you want it addressed and what state it should be in by the time the work is done. Be clear about who you want to complete the work will you pick the contractor or the seller? Will that person be licensed and provide a warranty on their work?
I would recommend you write a letter to your landlord politely asking him to do a walkthrough of your apartment and ask for repairs . Dont be demanding, dont threaten or withhold rent as that would be grounds for eviction. Its best to have your requests in writing as well as his responses .
Most repairs should be done within two to three weeks. This follows the Consumer Rights Act 2015, as it states garages must complete repairs within a reasonable time. Sometimes, repairs might take longer, and your mechanic should inform you why and how long they expect to take.
