Withhold the rent and see what happens.

Nothing will happen except that the LL's pockets will be empty, since withholding rent is a perfectly legal response in many states to LL's neglect to maintain, and OP says that she knows it is legal in her state. Another example of how little you actually know about LL'ing and the poor advice you give.

    Here is what I know. When a tenant starts to withhold rent he screws the process so bad that he has an eviction slapped on him before he can say "what happened."

    You need to go make a payment on one of your underwater mortgages.

    In a lot of states you cannot just not pay the rent or part of it, you need to pay it into an escrow account with the local court.
