Hello, 

I had a duct cleaning company stop by and they indicated this may be asbestos.  

What do you think?

The lab test is $250, I will get some remediation companies over to get estimates. 

Social media is strange, it seems that people vent their shortcomings by putting others down.  

The heat disclosure is too easy to obtain. It can save tons of time.

If anyone cares about this, the answer is,

Nothing. Chicago doesn't do squat about this. There is no precedence of this used effectively despite of what the ordinance says. They won't even bother with the $500 fee.

This answered required research through an attorney, not a clown behind a keyboard with reading superpowers.

I will still include it on my lease agreements. 

Easy to solve.  Use your reading super powers to find the answer. I dare you. 

What a moron. Stay away from keyboards

What kind of useless and ridiculous answer is that?

Under remedies,  there is no information regarding failure of heat disclosure.  There is a fee of $500, which is minor change.

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?

Your minimum bedroom size shall be 70 S.F per code.  Call any good contractor for a quote. They will give you  more info.

You need S.F., ventilation, heat, and electric.

Good luck, 

Get an architect, this should be cheap.  How many square feet is the original bedroom? 

Both must be in agreement.
