What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania
Iam renting the top part of a house, I have lived here 4 months and I have a year lease.My LL just bought the house 4 months ago, and he only bought it to flip it [he put it on the market a week after he bought it]..So basically he doesnt care about the property he just wants to sale it and make money. He recently rented the downstairs out and they have a large dog..which they allow to go to the bathroom in the backyard, I nicely asked the tenets if they can pick up the poop when their dog goes to the bathroom because I have small children that play in the yard and the woman said she works alot and she will only do it once a week..so basically what she is telling me is screw you...6 days deal with the poop all over the yard. I contacted my LL and he texted me saying "its your problem deal with it or move out", in my lease it states that he will provide a healthy and safe enviroment for his tenents, and to me he is breaking the lease, also since he is tryin to sale the house..he hasnt maintained it [examples..my upstairs main door large glass panel is missing which my baby often tried to crawl out of [i have rigged it so its blocked..but he kept promising he would fix it] i have no fire alarms in my apartment, no lights in my hallway [isnt that a fire hazard ?]..wood at the frame of door leading to fire escape is dry rotting] that is only a few problems to mention a few. This LL has money and owns alot of property...what are my chances of winning in court againest him because he isnt mainining his part of the lease and keepin up on things?
Thank you
