What is the name of your state? ky
We signed a 1 yr lease on oct 1 2007. So far we have had a bad refrigerator and instead of LL replacing it they gave us no choice but to buy one and they knocked 10.00 off the monthly rent. A week later I noticed my pipes leaking under kitchen sink. And then my sink stopped up completely and was full of greasy water. Called LL took 6 days to get a plummer to fix it. The plummer almost did not finish the job because my LL was refusing to pay him the price they agreed upon for his services.
I had an electrical short. It took 2 weeks to get an electrician. Luckily my house didn't catch on fire. My LL was on vacation when I called and they told me they would deal with it when they came home!!
Three days ago I noticed a hole in one of my heating/cooling air ducts. Called LL. She said she would get someone to look at it when she had time!!
Now my bathroom sink is leaking. Cannot figure out how but water was pouring down under my cabinet. I turned off the cold water valve and it stopped. So I only have hot water in bathroom sink.
I have a feeling the LL is going to take forever to get a repairman. How long is too long? Can I legally get someone to fix it and deduct the money from my rent. I heard there are legal programs that allow you to do that.
