Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Illinois

I lived in this trailer for two years and have submitted 3 work orders for my home that I'm renting and for two years nothing has been fixed, from mold to a unfinished front door that's doesn't lock and has huge gaps..took 10 months for a new door and the new door is worse than the old door yet despite the many times my rent has been caught up they still haven't fixed anything, I'm currently behind on rent because I'm sick of paying for trash And have little money to spend on a new place but I'm really sick of living in hidden filth, what should I do!
