What are my rights?

Ok, I rent a house in Los Angeles, month to month. When we first moved in the Landlord promised that his pile of rubbish heaped in the yard, would be moved within "two weeks". TEN months later, I'm still looking at a pile of rubbish in my yard, and he seems to think I'm a public storage facility for his business. What can I do? As I'm getting to the point that this could be a public health issue.

Geez, move the crap yourself or send a letter to L to move it within 10 days. If L does not, move it yourself or hire someone. Send L the bill.
