<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

So I didn't want to post from my regular account because of the situation. And I apologize for the terrible grammar and run-ons.

Someone that I had gone out with earlier this week just informed me that they may have lice and we slept together in my bed. After examining myself I found a couple small bugs in my pubic area. I know how to handle the situation, so I don't need advice there...wash and dry everything on high heat, use the proper shampoo, yadda yadda. But the issue is, is that the only dryer in my building is not currently functioning. And I rent in a neighborhood in Chicago so it's not my responsibility to have the dryer fixed. The landlord told me earlier this week (Monday or Tuesday) that he was going to contact a repair man, and he lives in the other apartment in my building so I figured that he would have it taken care of sooner rather than later (read: by now) but it still isn't working. However, he also owns the building right next door. I know that the next door unit has laundry as well. Assuming that their washer and dryer are both still functioning, am I within my rights as a tenant to use that washer and dryer since there is a health issue here? Normally I wouldn't be concerned because this is the first apartment that I've lived in that has free laundry and I have enough clothing to last me quite some time before I need to do laundry so I'm grateful for what I have. But in the lease it does state that I have access to a free washer and dryer and that I can use it as long as it's before 10pm. Does this give me the right to demand it to be fixed if he wont let me use the one in his building next door?
<bot>: I need to use my washer and dryer for health and safety reasons, but they're not currently working. Is there legal action I can take?
