We moved into this duplex last July intending to buy.Well the lanlord backed out of 3 closings we had scheduled. Now we are renters and she will not fix anything. I have written her a letter of a list of repairs to be made and to no avail she only comes around when she wants money. Since she is not interested in selling the property doesnt she have to fix repairs...such as a leaking faucet that can't be used, sliding glass door in the masterbedroom is so dryrotted that in the summer we had swarms of bees in my bedroom. The bees were so bad that we could not enter the bedroom in the daytime. Now that it is winter it is so cold in this duplex because there in no insulation and the heating bill is outragous. There are no storm windows and the original windows are from 1979. Also, little things like the back door wont lock, the closet doors are missing, handles missing on the hall closets.....are these little things or do I have rights too? Also when we were friends she asked if she could leave a car in my drive way until she gets it towed, that was abandoned at one of her other propertys well this was last August and why should I have to pay for a garage when I can't even use it......Please give me some advise.Do I have to pay rent? I found out that the state we lived in sued her for 20,000.00 because she would not finish the garage she was adding on. She let it sit for 2 years and the neighbors complained about the structure not being fixed....Any advice would be appreciated.
