I have been a landlord for 20 years now and have become quite handy fixing broken things around apartments.. question can I legally fix garbage disposals change light fixtures fix leaky plumbing or do I have to be an electrician and a plumber with a license.

If you have been doing it for 20 years, why ask know. Was something left out of the story?

In general, you can do all repairs yourself except those that require a permit such as replacing a water heater, etc.

Carl...You are jumping on the wrong wagon. If your landlord is not already tired of you he soon will be. Start looking for another place to live. Because your landlord is already looking to get rid of you as soon as he can.
