Landlord not making Repairs

[SunkenDown]

I live in Indiana in a mobile home park, all trailers are owned by the landlord. The landlord is not making repairs like he should. He has known for a year now that we have a leaky kitchen sink, now, we have a big sunken in place in the floor. It's gotten so bad that we had to place boards over the hole so we wouldn't fall through. He says "No big deal, I'll take care of it when I have time" We're still waiting for that time to come. What can we legally do? Cannot afford to move at this time. Cannot afford to "repair and deduct" Are we just sunk? Please HELP!!!!!!!

Read the State Statutes to see what kind of written notice is required by the tenant with respect to the completion of repairs.
