OK, I have a serious question here and I really need some help, so if anyone out there knows the answer please help us out. We entered into a 12-month lease with a landlord, moved in, and for a few months, the drier ones, the house was fine. In September we got a lot of rain, and noticed the roof leaking. After we called the landlord someone came out to check the roof and that's the last we heard of it. No repairs were made and the roof continued to leak. In December we sent the required 7-day notice to fix the roof or rent would be withheld, as the roof was leaking and mold was taking over the house. In January, with nothing fixed we sent another 7-day notice and informed the landlord that we would be calling the code enforcement department. Landlord then at the beginning of February began eviction proceedings. Code enforcement came out, inspected the house, citing numerous problems, and informed us that we were not supposed to even be living there.
