years ago landlords would fix things. today all they want is the rent. if something does break they are suppose to fix it. when something in my mobile home breaks, I wait two weeks for they fix it and then they use cheap stuff to fix it, the cheaper the better for them. but if you are late with the rent, you get the talk, why are you late. thank goodness, I pay on time but they don't fix things on time. irsh1952, that is what I do, I keep calling the landlord and keep asking when they will fix things. it does work. last week, while I was in the shower, the water stopped. I had just put shampoo in my hair, no water, so I called twice and said I can not walk around with soap in my hair, guess what, he came and fixed it. |

Each state is different as to landlord laws. I live in florida where the landlord is required to maintain the space up to the same condition it was when u moved in. No specific amount is required. |

It depends on the state. Check your state laws. |

No, but I have found that persistance does pay off. Call the landlord two or three times a week asking when they are going to make the repairs. Usually they get tired of the constant calls so they do the repairs to get you off their back.
I made that suggestion to a neighbor once. She said, "But we shouldn't have to do that."
I replied, "I know that, but it DOES work." |

Nope, not at all.
I used to be a landlord and some years I spent little or nothing on repairs. Other years were catastrophic, such as when a sewer line collapsed under the foundation slab and sewage backed up into the house.
Landlords are required to keep their properties habitable. Habitable doesn't mean that every little niggle needs to be sorted out, just items that affect health and safety of the tenants and public in general. |

No. But the house does have to meet certain safety standards, depends on state. |

no there not ,, but if they refuse to fix something , you can fix it and deduct amount twice a year |
|

No. |

They are required to keep the property in the condition it was when you signed the contract. Especially they have to attend very quickly to any defects brought to their attention which are a danger to life or health. You can imagine that if you had an electric shock and had to be rushed to hospital by ambulance, the legal penalties on the landlord could be huge. |

NO but that are suppose to make sure the buildings are up to code. I just read something in a local paper yestserday about this. In my town there is code enforcement...if something is dangerous, or junky, filthy, and just substandard housing conditions then the code enforcers will write them up. The goal is to keep the property safe for everyone especially children, the property values up etc.
If it is something that seems sub par I would look at your local code enforcement for you town and call them and voice your concerns. It could not hurt. |

No. You might have a slumlord - consider moving if it gets too bad.
*They don't even have to reimburse you for work you do to fix up the place. |

also check the lease, they may not be required to spend X amount, but there are certain items they are probably required to maintain (i.e. furnance, locks, etc). Check local laws also. |

No. But then if your apartment is a real dive and he will not fix it, you can contact your local rental board, or you city councillor and complain. |

not a certain amount but they are required by law to fix up any problems that might arise in the aprtment or house they rent out as in gas leaks or water leaks and walls sometimes even painting the place |
