WHAT do i do if my landlord hasn't fixed my hot water tank after 9 days?
Its been 9 days since my landlord said he would fix my hot water tank. I have no hot water… Still. What do i do? I already notified him, he came about a week ago and said he would be back the following day, then he never showed up. Hes ignoring my texts (iphone told me my message was delivered and read) what do i do?
Just because your iPhone said the message was read, doesn't mean it was read.
Sometimes messages get lost in the shuffle.
You are required to provide your landlord notice in writing.
Once you do that, the problem needs to be corrected in a timely manner.
First, I would pick up the phone and CALL the manager, not text or email.
I don't know where you live but in Florida that would be considered as an unlivable habitat and you would have a right to break your lease, I'd go to a lawyer and have them type up a letter of demand to fix it or to relocate you possibly to a hotel until they fix the problem
If you are in the uk, if repairs aren't done properly you can start a claim in the small claims court for repairs under £5,000. You can also consider carrying out the repairs yourself and deduct the cost from your rent.
You can tell him you're leaving, as he is in violation of health codes. You may call your city hall and double check the laws.
Repairs need to be done in a timely manner.
If you don't get a response tomorrow, send a certified letter… Your text messages are worthless. The certified letter should get their attention… If not, file a complaint with the local responsible housing authority.
You fail to give a location but in most states in the US there are specific steps tenants must follow to make landlords do repairs. The 1st legally required step in most states is to submit the repair request in writing. That means physically on real paper.
You can't jump straight to breaking the lease. In most states breaking the lease without paying over a repair issue requires suing the landlord.
Do not stop paying rent. That will get you evicted. IT is illegal in most states to withhold rent over a repair issue without a court order. The few states that do allow it still have a process you must follow.
To bath, heat water on the stove and pour into the tub. Or get a big bucket to put near the stove… Lay plastic on the floor and a big towel/old blanket… Dunk your head in the bucket to wash your hair.it will help to water down the shampoo to begin with.
then write a letter, mail it certified return receipt with a 2nd copy regular mail.
after that look into state procedure to force repairs.
NOTE: COURTS ARE RECOGNIZING TEXT/EMAIL AS LEGAL WRITTEN NOTICE, but not all.so do yourself a favor and send an old fashioned letter.
I don't believe any place would consider that uninhabitable. I lived without running water for a week due to renovations… I didn't even have a stove to heat water.luckily it was summer and I could use an outdoor hose to get water.
Well the first thing is to put a stop on the rent payments.
You'll be surprised how quickly things start happening after that!
Hire and pay someone yourself to fix it then sue the landlord for the balance if needed.
Retain ALL messages you've sent him reporting the problem.
Send a letter to the landlord via certified mail, as this constitutes proof he was informed of the problem. If it is not repaired in a timely manner, file a case in Small Claims Court.
Do not withhold rent, as this is grounds for eviction.
9 days? Nope. Keep the texts. Don't pay him rent until it is fixed. Or you can call a plumber and pay for it, and take it out of the rent. No hot water is an emergency situation. Its not up to code. It is a code violation. You can call the city and report him.

- He hasn't texted me in three days? Me and this guy have met back in summer, but recently started talking again for a month and a half. He texted me first EVERYDAY. I like him though. But I'm not sure if he lost interest. We did hook up (NO sex). He was still very sweet and not awkward after that. The last time he texted me we only texted for like 10 min, and he called me babe that one day. Plus I know that he saw the text, It said that he read it. (Iphones) Do you think he lost interest? We're both 17
