okay i have lived at my current residence for a little over 2 years. i rent from an individual, not a company, he has 7 trailers here and more somewhere else. my landlord works with people on payments, as a matter of fact he worked with us on our deposit when we moved in. he also takes pretty good care of his rental properties. we have a big yard and a playground. we have had a few problems with our door not closing it took 6 months to fix. septic tank backing up which also took 6 months to fix and is messing up again. mold under our sink that took 3-4 months to get him to fix. he always fixes stuff but the longer we live here the longer he takes to fix things. other resedents have told me they have had similar problems. he always says he is busy cause he owns a remodeling company and that is why it takes so long for him to get out to fix stuff. so i try not to bother him unless it is something big. so here is my problem about 4 months ago he was taking the dishwasher out vcause of the mold behind it and while doing that he did something that lost us power to half of the kitchen and half of the living room. but about a month ago the power to my childrens room and the only bathroom we have went out. he finally came to look at it 2 days ago and said he coldn't figure out what was wrong so he would have to get someone else out to help him. i dpn't know how long this will take plus my kids can't play in there room, and it is hard to poty train in the dark and shower in the dark. you get the picture. plus i bought those handi lights you can stick up anywhere they run on batteries which was $40 for 4 but they are not bright enough to light up the whole room. i pay $450/month rent would it be wrong to ask for$100 off this months rent?
