My fiance and I extended our year-long lease in back in July. Our original landlord was very attentive, and happy to attend to any problems we had with the property. Unfortunately, he sold the property, and now we are stuck with landlords that are unattentive and rude. We notified them of problems with leakage in the bathroom almost a year ago, and they neglected to fix it. Unable to stand it anymore, we removed the drywall and fixed the leak ourselves and put a new tile floor in to replace the damaged linoleum. Months ago, a new leak sprung, which we notified them of, and they still have not had it fixed. The drywall is growing black and purple mold, tiles are falling out of the shower walls, and the grout has turned almost completely black. I am tired of paying so much to bathe in a mold-laden bathroom. In addition, the wall paper is peeling, the carpets are damaged, and they NEVER pick up the rent on time (my check will sit in the mailbox for days). Can I legally get out of this?
