A new Chicago wide ordinance that is being proposed would require landlords within the city to provide air conditioning to their tenants.

The ordinance was  proposed Wednesday by Ald. George Cardenas who claims that it is a basic necessity for tenants to have in order to combat the hot summer days in Chicago.

If passed, this rule would go into effect next year, but Cardenas is already encouraging landlords to start providing their tenants with A/C for safety purposes.

I’m sure landlords would be sooooooo happy and willing to do this….
