How Do I Force My Unresponsive Landlord to Make Needed Repairs?
Abstract
A couple of months ago, the ceiling in my shower started leaking and a chunk of the ceiling above the leak collapsed. The super covered the hole with cardboard but never actually fixed the leak or ceiling. If the landlord took you to housing court for nonpayment, your defense would be that the conditions violated your warranty of habitability, a state rule. You would ultimately have to pay back some of the rent. Once your ceiling is repaired, you might decide that the rent abatement is not. The rent is not worth the headache of another day in court.
