Building Owners must provide the cost of monthly heating to prospective tenants prior to signing a lease. The Chicago Municipal Code requires that a building or dwelling unit owner provide a disclosure to prospective tenants if they will be responsible directly to the utility company for paying the cost of gas or electric heat for that building or unit. The property owner/landlord must also provide in writing the annual cost of heating based on the previous 12 months.
The Application for Energy Disclosure is used to request gas or electric disclosures on a particular address and/or unit number. Separate applications are required for Gas and Electric Heat. The property owner may use the application for energy disclosure to obtain current information. The Chicago Heating Cost Disclosure Form can be found on the City of Chicago website.
