Sara has the right idea. You go girl. Rent must be paid. Or you are at fault. Go to the cort and pay your rent into an escrow account. You are still paying rent but he will not receive it until the AC is fixed. You will be surprised on how fast the AC is repaired. Remember you must pay your rent, either to him or court in order for him to be at fault. Good luck

There is plenty you can do about it. You need to send your landlord a certified letter stating that the residence is without air and something needs to be done now. You need to contact your local municipal residential authority to let them know what your landlord is doing and ask what steps you need to take to rectify the situation. You should also contact a lawyer because you may have a legitimate lawsuit. Essentially, with no air conditioning, your landlord is receiving rent for an uninhabitable dwelling and is in violation of your lease, assuming you have one. You can hire a technician to repair the unit, and then deduct the cost of the repair from your rent. If your landlord tries to evict you for this, go to court and present the bill to the judge. Finally, you can move out and sue your landlord for a refund of your deposit. Again, if the residence is uninhabitable the landlord is in breach of contract which gives you the right to abandon the lease and leave.

tell the land lord about the problem stop paying rent to your landlord and put the money in an escrow account when the problem is fixed pay the rent owed. If the problem is not resolved take them to court and prove good faith with the escrow account and get enough money to move on.

certain, she will have the capacity to sue you. You broke the lease and also you also did not pay the lease the most suitable month you've been there. would not be counted what you sense about the problem, you legally owe her a month's lease. and she or he will have the capacity to and could sue you to get it. And keep in concepts, in the adventure that your sued, that's not in basic terms the lower back lease you'll finally end up paying. you'll also be on the hook for the filing fee on the courtroom domicile and any and all attorneys expenditures besides. If I were you, i ought to discover that lower back lease ASAP or you're gonna be stuck with a good more beneficial invoice than a months lease.
