[Chicago] Landlord wants us to pay for repair of broken garage

Post Body

Hello! So our detached garage door broke and our landlord is threatening to terminate our access to the garage unless we pay for the damages because he doesn't believe us that the garage broke on its own/because of wear and tear. He believes we did it out of malice. He repaired it and then told us we needed to pay for it, with nothing being agreed to beforehand. As far as i understand from reading the RTL he can not threaten to terminate any service because that counts as retaliation. After i quoted the RTL he said it wasn't in our lease because it was detached and thus month to month, however in our lease form we're paying for "parking fees" and so I told him it's a part of our lease. He essentially said "I think you need to move out of the garage if you don't pay for it. End of conversation" How do I tackle this situation? Thanks. Essentially it's our word vs his on whose fault it is correct?

Edit. No renter's insurance. I did not take picture of the garage prior to it breaking.
