I'm not a lawyer but from the one business law class I had, I believe you have an option to pay your rent into an escrow account. Basically you still take the money out of your account but it doesn't go directly to the landlord. You then notify the landlord that you are paying to an escrow account that they will get upon completion of the necessary repairs to make the place livable. Before attempting this though, I'd find someone who actually knows a bit more about the subject since I'm going off a class I took back in 1990. You may also want to check with your county government offices to see if they have an agency that deals with rental inspections. I've lived in rentals since about 1997 (in a Maryland county) and we've seen a building inspector several times over the years. The landlord informs the community that units will be selected at random. Basically the inspector insures that the landlords are maintaining properties in adequate living conditions. ** Edit ** Even if your landlord is willing to work with people on rent amounts, the real concern is the safety of your family. Mold isn't something to joke around with. It can lead to various respiratory problems and even death. Electrical problems can present fire issues if not handled properly. The septic system backing presents additional health concerns as well as a general unpleasant smell (for you and your neighbors). As a paying tenant, you should expect all of your concerns to be addressed in a reasonable time frame while ensuring the safety of the tenants.

I remember my wife telling our children that she read somewhere some people told their children, that when the dishwasher door was closed? A monkey jumped out and licked the dishes clean, they did not believe her but made them laugh
Happy New Year

I was told that if I touched the furnace the house it would explode and if I walked away from my mother in a store a crazy man would snatch me and chop my head off. As a kid, I don't know why they had to use all of those morbid warnings.

when myboys were little they used to play on the stairs which i hated so i tould them there was a yeti monster living under the bottom step and if they were on the stairs too long it would try and eat there feet unless they got to the top or the bottom straight away but if they ran the yeti monser got angry from the banging and would try and catch them really quick so they had to creep up and down the stairs and they didnt play on them again.

A surprise santa showed up Saturday morning before christmas on a fire truck with gifts for my 5 year old. He asked why santa didn't bring his reindeer and I told him because the reindeer were kinda dumb and would just run into the mountains ( we live in Upper northeast TN and so we are surrounded by mountains). He agreed with me and bought it.

I told my kids that I had eyes in the back of my head. I wore long hair to hide them, but I could peek through my hair. One day an argument broke out between two of the kids because one grabbed a toy from the other. I could see their reflection in the window and could see who grabbed the toy. I just calmly told him to give the toy back to his brother he had the toy first. You should have seen their eyes! Big as saucers. From then on they would behave even behind my back. One time while driving the car, I heard one tell the other...
"Better be careful, remember... mom has eyes in the back of her head and is watching all the time". It was fun and useful while it lasted.
