Kanan | Landlord/realty ignoring phone calls for maintenance requests. What to do? |
What can be done if the landlord who is actually a realty is ignoring phone calls and voice messages left to them? There were more than four instances within the span of 6 days and they won't return any phone calls. This is for regular maintenance of the apartment. Who else can be contacted in such cases? Is there anything a tenant can do before getting the maintenance done on their own? This is in San Francisco bay area.
Thanks in advance. |

Send your landlord a certified letter stating what repairs need to be done, etc. By sending it certified, he/she has to sign for it & you'll get a copy of that signed receipt, so they can't say they didn't receive your letter. Your landlord is playing games with you for whatever reasons, so send a nicely written letter, stating what repairs need to be done & ask that you be contacted by phone or in person to discuss the situation further. Keep a copy of the letter & don't lose it. If you don't hear anything within up to thirty days, then seek the advice of a lawyer. There is such a thing as not paying your rent to the landlord directly, until all repairs have been made. It's called putting the rent in escrow. Ask your lawyer about this if/when you need to speak with him/her. Good luck!!!! |

There should be a housing office in your community for renters. If this person is a Realtor, there is the realtor's association that could maybe lean on the person. Good luck. |

The only thing I can think of to do before getting it done on your own is to put your request(s) in writing. Give a reasonable time for a reply. You can also continue efforts by telephone. Document everything in writing. If after a reasonable period of time you still have not received a response, you can do what is called fix and deduct. That is, if you spend $250, save the receipt and you can deduct $250 from the next rent payment you owe. Be sure to provide a copy of that receipt with your rent payment.
By the way, as far as I know, you cannot withhold the rent due because of a failure to perform regular maintenance. Good luck. |

Open a savings account with your rent money. Tell the landlord that you will be holding the rent until all repairs are finished. Don't use the money for anything but the rent. That way should he/she take you to court you can show that you have the rent but are awaiting repairs. |

HA HA at you!

Call the Police. |

Certified or registered letter with return receipt outlining the issues and demanding the repairs. Give them a deadline too, before you report them. If the issues are health hazards, or even things like a broken toilet, oven, or fridge, they can be in trouble with the city in many places for not being in compliance with codes, in addition to possibly violating landlord/tenant laws. |

then go down in person and speak to them, also do u have a super? most buildings do? the landlord does not make the repairs there is usually an on site super that takes care of maintenance requests with tenants. if he still hasn't made plans to fix it then hire someone to do the fixing and submit the receipt with ur rent, deduct the charges from your rent. being that he ignored u, enclose a letter stating "since you chose to ignore my calls for 2 weeks, I hired someone to fix the repairs, i have deducted to cost of repairs from my monthly rent, hope you will be more efficient so we can avoid this in the future" |

You can legally call them again and tell them if a phone call is not returned its your right to call an attorney to go over the contract of your lease
By the US law, the landlord is legally binded to do maintenance on his building, or you can call someone to do it and tell them to bill the landlord and he has to pay it |

send a registerd letter taht you will not be paying rent until it is fixed. You'll be surprised how fast they are to act |
