My landlord is trying to evict us. She has harrassed me about money due for rent but refuses to fulfill the obligations of a resident manager. When I moved in to my residence there was a list of repairs I requested done. She has not done any of them stating that the repairs are not important and needed. Repairs such as replacing a broken window, sealing cracks around the bathtub where you can look down into below the trailer, cracks around the air unit where cold air is coming in to the trailer, two doors that will not close properly and leave the trailer easy accessible to theives. What do I do?

2 things can be done. 1. contact the housing board and file a complaint about the living space being unfit to live in.
The second thing which I would do is send her a register letter stating that you will pay her the rent if she makes the repairs stated. Just list the most importaint repairs. If she says no then you will have back up in court for why your rent wasn'rt paid. Aslo videotape the conditions for a later court date.

File a case of mandamus in court so that the landlord will be ordered to make the repairs.
