Pro tip: I got my landlord to fix a broken heater in 48 hours with a certified letter
The unit was 55 degrees in Chicago last week, and they ignored my calls. I mailed a dated letter via USPS Certified Mail stating the local housing code violation, and they had a repair person out the next day. Has anyone else used this method for other rental issues like pests or security?

Yeah, the certified mail thing is no joke. My last place had a leaky ceiling for months, and a letter citing the exact code section got it fixed in a week.

55 degrees in Chicago is brutal, man. That certified mail trick is a lifesaver. My old place had a roach problem that vanished after a similar letter.
