[ ] The date the tenant's written notice arrived, because if the landlord fails to make the repair within 14 days, or sooner in an emergency, the tenant may have the repair made and deduct the bill from rent after submitting a paid bill, where the Act applies (742/5, 742/10).
[ ] The repair in plain words, with photos, and whether its reasonable cost is under the 742/5 cap, which is tied to one-half of the monthly rent; the tenant may notify the landlord in writing under 742/5 only for a repair under that cap, where the Act applies (742/10).
[ ] At move-out, the date the lessee vacated or the right of possession ended, whichever is later, and the itemized statement with paid receipts, sent within 30 days (710/1(a)).
