Alli | What can I do about my apartment's leaky roof? |
I complained to the landlord almost 2 months ago. They told me when the roof dried they would call a roofer. We had drought conditions for about a month and nothing was done. I called again last week to complain again and they said something would be done immediately. It was leaking again yesterday. What can I do to hurry them up? Aren't there laws that address this? I live in Nashville, TN if that helps. |

Put your complaint in writing. Your lease will explain their obligation to make repairs. You can also call the city building inspectors for advice on landlord tenant disputes. Generally, if put in writing reasonable repairs must be made within a certain time frame (typically 90 days) or you may WITH NOTICE secure the repairs yourself and deduct them from the rent. This may vary from state to state, so check your lease and/or follow up with the agency I suggested. Good luck.
Remember, if you don't put it in writing (certified mail, return receipt requested) you haven't complained yet. |

Contact whoever is above your landlord. If it's a bigger complex, they will get on their case. Go through your rental agreement and look for maintenance problems. |

Unfortunately, landlords don't always take care of their apartment.
You could pay for the damage yourself and charge the landlord for it, claiming it was damaging your furniture, clothing etc.
Be sure you pay your rent on time because if you don't, a judge would throw out your complaint.
Also, take photos of the damage.
You see, once you move out you can take the landlord to court demanding to be reimbursed for what you paid for. |

Call the Health Dept. and/or Building & Safety and explain the situation. Get it all documented so the landlolrd can't evict you for complaining. |

I'm sure that there are laws that would make them fix this. It depends on your state and the severity of the leak. But call them up one more time and give them one week to get something done. Tell them if they don't you are going to call the proper authorities. Even if you don't know who to call, that should scare them into fixing it :) |

just hanging around

You need to take them to court if they are refusing to fix this, you are paying for an apartment with a roof that doesn't leak, you should get it!! I don't suggest not paying the rent that will only get you in trouble, seriously call the town on the landlord and take them to court!!
Good Luck!! |

You just keep nagging the landlord! You could fix it yourself, but then the LL would say you did a lousy job. I think your LL is a weasel! You can tell him I said that! |

The landlord is in violation of the lease, specifically the implied warranty of habitability. Give a 30-day notice, and move. |
