contact your local housing authority |

Hello,
please read your agreement with the landlord carefully (small letters!). It's possible that you have hired the house 'as it is',that means that you have to check first if everything works or is old an not working,before you sign a contract. It's also possible that he is responsable for the outside of the house,and you for the inside,so you may be forced to buy another boiler on your own account. Call a layer for more details. Good luck!

Naturalblondebbw is right. Your landlord is breaking the law. |

There may be a public agency that handles complaints like yours. I assume that you've already paid the May rent, if not you could use that as leverage. Another recourse would be for you to send the landlord/management agency a certified letter (return receipt requested,) stating that they have 10 days to rectify the problem or you will be forced to obtain legal counsel and that should that occasion arrise, you will be forced to seek relief for any damages incurred as well as any costs necessary such as collection costs or costs incurred to correct the problem. |

call your local housing authority, and the health department, under no circumstances should you withold rent or subtract repairs from rent unless you have an agreement in writing with your landlord to do so. You could be evicted otherwise. |

Check your lease. See if there is a clause in there somewhere that gives you the right to fix that kind of thing and deduct it from your rent. There also might be something in there stating that he is responsible for the major upkeep of the property, but it may say that you are responsible. If he just won't fix it.....maybe you contact the Fair Housing Administration, or the local legal aide society. They mediate in tenant / landlord disputes if I'm not mistaken. At least they could tell you who to contact. |

Naturalblonde is right, Iceman is wrong. Refusing to pay is as illegal as not fixing the boiler, but the one does not excuse the other.
Contact the housing authorities, and if needed contact a lawyer. Get out your rental agreement and find the sections which speak of this. If there are none, then you are protected by the laws in your area which govern the landlord. |

Dont pay him rent until he fixes it.... |
