There is usually a department in the city or county that deals with landlord/tenant issues. I would think that they would be interested only in items that affect health or safety.

In Illinois can you hold rent until landlord fix problems in home?
That is not a wise thing to do. If the problems are severe enough that house is unsafe, check your state's landlord and tenant laws. There may be a way to either void the lease or to notify the landlord that the repairs will be done and an amount billed to him. You'll have to check to see what will actually work (no loopholes!) in your favor. Some landlords never do fix the items, but at least you have it on your list so they can't charge you.
If you withhold rent from your apartment company and you move out before they fix the problems do you still need to pay them?
Probably. You withold monies to repair something your landlord will not fix, which is usually a health or safety issue. But this money is used to pay the individual that is going to actually fix the problem. So, if you have not used the money to fix the problem, then yes, you were basically withholding monies from your landlord PERIOD and yes, they can still sue you for withholding monies. So, I would say, yes, you would still have to pay them. One way or another, the landlord will be able to get this money.
Is landlord an adjective?
No. It is a noun, although it might be used as an adjunct (landlord problems).

The landlord can correct the problems for which the house can be potentially condemned. But the landlord cannot evict the tenant just for saying that.
Can landlord in Cincinnati put you out if you pay rent by date on 3 day notice?
The three day notice is also called "Fix or Quit". Which means in 72 hours you need to fix the breach, or quit the lease. If you pay the rent and the landlord accepts it, your leasehold continues. If you attempt to pay the rent and the landlord refuses it, keep a record of the date, time, and place (you may even wish to bring a witness with you). Refusing the rent, shows the landlord did not follow through properly on the 3 day notice to fix or quit. You chose the option to fix the breach but the landlord rejected it. While this may not fix the eviction, it will look better for you in housing court.
Can you break your lease if your house has problems like heating and molding etc?
You can break your lease, but only if you have notified your landlord in writing of the problems and he refuses to fix them (or does not fix them in a reasonable time). If you are considering breaking your lease and moving out: be careful. State landlord-tenant laws have very specific requirements about breaking leases, and if you don't exactly follow the law, you could end up losing a lawsuit brought by your landlord. It is very important that you call a tenant's rights organization in your area without delay. They can provide you free guidance on how to break your lease and move out. You can also call a landlord-tenant attorney for advice (look in the phone book for attorneys who offer "free consultations").

If you damaged the drywall, then you should fix it. If the damage was caused due to a water leak or something that is unforeseen at the time a rental agreement was formed, then the landlord should repair the damages.

It depends on your lease agreement.
