Description

On paper, Chicago has strong protections for renters if landlords fail to maintain proper living conditions. Tenants can withhold rent, report problems to the city, or sue their landlords. But an Injustice Watch investigation shows in practice, tenants face an uphill battle even when buildings have repeated documented violations. Senior reporters Alejandra Cancino and Maya Dukmasova explain how the legal system is set up to protect landlords.
