My apt has bords on my windows the bathroom roof is falling in and its full of mold the outlets dont work the hot water dont work is this legal
If you can prove the mold is the cancer causing type you can sue the landlord to void your lease without penalty allowing you to move. But remember, most mold and mildew isn't the dangerous stuff. All other maintenance issue need to be submitted to the landlord so he can repair.
No, it isn't. However, you have to have access to hot water. If there is no hot water the health department will give yoru landlord 24 hours to get a working hot water heater.
Its not illegal unless it constitutes a health hazard, you tell the landlord, and he refuses to meet the minimum standard of occupancy for your unit. But, if you don't tell him he doesn't know and can not be held accountable. If YOU Know, you also have an obligation to assess the danger and act appropriately as it relates to YOUR safety. That means that YOU need to find out if it is dangerous and if so, move out. If you don't it implies your acceptance of the conditions. Its not a free ride for either party. .
