My boyfriend and I rent a small house in Chicago, IL.
For years we had been trying to buy the place from our landlord.
We desperately wanted to make the house ours. The guy is unwilling to sell. I get it. He makes a mint renting out in Chicago, IL. We pay top dollar for the location. Now that it has been a few years, I am glad we don’t own the place. I now know everything that is wrong with it. The floor in the bathroom is shot and needs to be redone. There is a bit of moisture damage on the ceiling. There is a tree in the backyard that is going to fall on the house someday. Most recently we have been dealing with an AC repair. My boyfriend has called our landlord multiple times about our Chicago AC repair. The guy hasn’t done anything about it. I think he knows we are moving out soon. So why fix the AC if we are leaving in the winter? Seems shady to me. My boyfriend thinks he might have the repair. He thinks our outdoor air compressor to the system is slightly off-center. It is tilted to the side so all the coolant is rushing to one end. That way when the air blows in the system, no refrigerant is getting blown over it. So the air isn’t being called. With a few cement blocks, my boyfriend thinks he can fix it. I certainly hope that is what our Chicago, IL AC repair is. I don’t want to go a whole summer without cooling.
