Thank you for all of this info. You are right, that these fixes are cheap. My kitchen flooded yesterday, and the landlord was upstairs. He didn't even bother to come down, even though the kitchen and bathroom sinks were overflowing. All he cares about is having money cross his palm.

If dude had not come to me asking for my other six months up front because he dumped all his money into the ongoing construction upstairs (and I had no idea what a foreclosure would do to me....now I know, I'd have had money to fix all these things myself. I know it's not my responsibility, but I have never been a tenant that complains of every little thing. I fix my own stuff when I can. I fixed dude's garbage disposal, I've done my best to treat the drains. I bought heater panels to heat the bedrooms in the winter. I keep the place clean. Landlord just doesn't give a sh*t.

Given the nature of some of these issues, I figured going directly to him and speaking to him would solve the problem, as I have lived in places with property managers, and your complaints are at least addressed same day. I have never had to send a letter about a violation before.

He's been paid upfront, so there will be no reduction in rent. He's already spent all that money, plus my security deposit. He does it with every tenant he has. He was renting the house upstairs with no a/c, doors that didn't lock. For a minute I thought I got the better deal, having a finished place to live in, but problems keep arising.

Mainly, I want the list of violations so I can go back and sue the shelter I was staying at, because there were programs I qualified for (not public housing), that the shelter purposefully did not refer residents to. These programs are federally funded and shut down when there are no people to be referred to them. They exist for us. It's not welfare housing, like the shelter seemed to think. Funding is set aside specifically for people like me. Disabled with a disabled child. I have no idea what I'm going to do next year. I could have had a place that asked for rent according to my income, now I have no chance of ever getting on any section 8 list or anything. I'm so scared.
