  Manual Labor Required By Tenant to Maintain Rental Property? (limits?) - Was required to perform 24/7 labor, with a water issue.
  
  Yeah, I agree. Was hoping someone heard of a similar situation/law that would clarify what is what, but i guess it is kind of a grey area. - Thanks again!

  Manual Labor Required By Tenant to Maintain Rental Property? (limits?) - Was required to perform 24/7 labor, with a water issue.
  
  Yes, I had various sizes of containers. (They provided two buckets, for seven holes in my ceiling.) I had to provide the rest. I would use a large container to pour the smaller buckets into. (yes, I made them aware of the bucket to hole ratio.)

  Manual Labor Required By Tenant to Maintain Rental Property? (limits?) - Was required to perform 24/7 labor, with a water issue.
  
  Hi, Thank you for the reply. yeah, they said it was too dangerous and they wanted to let the ice/snow melt into the building. (They do have ice removal companies, but they decided against that route - it was from ice damming, in the valley of the roof. The ice built up beyond the tarred area of...

  Manual Labor Required By Tenant to Maintain Rental Property? (limits?) - Was required to perform 24/7 labor, with a water issue.
  
  Yes, that is what I believe, (and many others) but this seems to be a gray area in the laws... Hopefully I can figure out a way to find a good resolution without coming up with thousands of dollars to get out of this situation. (Because, now they have been treating me like a nuisance..)

  Manual Labor Required By Tenant to Maintain Rental Property? (limits?) - Was required to perform 24/7 labor, with a water issue.
  
  I hope so... I have asked four different organizations that handle this, and everything has been pretty vague. It seems like the law doesn't cover a particular situation like this. (most of the laws just speak of fixing an issue within 14 days, and if i repair it, I could take some money off the...

  Manual Labor Required By Tenant to Maintain Rental Property? (limits?) - Was required to perform 24/7 labor, with a water issue.
  
  Thanks, Quincy. Yes, they have informed me that they have been in the "Right" and this incident was an "Act of God" so they feel it's okay for them to expect there paying customers to do more.

  Manual Labor Required By Tenant to Maintain Rental Property? (limits?) - Was required to perform 24/7 labor, with a water issue.
  
  Hi, thank you for a reply. Yes, I have taken videos and pictures, each day and night. They are saying, it is MY responsibility for the work, required to maintain the unit. (That's what I find puzzling.) Thanks again.

  Manual Labor Required By Tenant to Maintain Rental Property? (limits?) - Was required to perform 24/7 labor, with a water issue.
  
  Yeah, that's the issue. They are fixing the problem, within the 14 day window that is required; but used me for 5 days, to keep the place live-able/safe/without further damage, day and night. (So, I believe this is why they think they are fine.) It just seems like it would be wrong to have...

  Thank you again - (Hopefully this will help.) I have told them, (The building manager) that I have lost faith in this situation/location and will be looking to move asap, and they responded, with stating I will be charged for several thousands of dollars, to leave early. (This seems to be a...

  Manual Labor Required By Tenant to Maintain Rental Property? (limits?) - Was required to perform 24/7 labor, with a water issue.
  
  Hi, firstly, than you for the reply. The issue, was bailing water, from the inside - they decided to let the ice/snow melt into the interior of the building v. having someone remove the ice from the valley of the roof, to stop the water leaks. (They said it was too dangerous for someone to stop...

  What is the name of your state? Illinois Checking to see if anyone can shed some light on labor requirements? I had water coming in, from the roof, in my apartment, and continued, for 5ish days. (minus, some lulls, on colder days.) The amount of water, coming in, required me to bail water, 3-4...
