Even if it is not in your rental agreement or lease, your landlord is required to keep your building and unit in a habitable condition. This means that your landlord must ensure that the building is structurally sound, provide hot and cold water, ensure that the roof is not leaking, and keep the plumbing, electrical and heating systems all in safe operating condition. Also, if a rental property has become infested with pests, landlords must often pay for an exterminator, unless the infestation was caused by your wrongdoing or poor housekeeping. Put it in writing. Landlord repairs of minor problems are taken care of more often when the request for the repair is made in writing. This is true for a number of reasons. First, by putting your request in writing, you give your landlord time to consider the request and how the repair might benefit him in the future. Second, requests in writing give you the opportunity to lay out a convincing argument, point by point. By writing down your request, you are able to show the landlord why it would be beneficial to paint the bathroom another color besides orange-streaked-with-blue. Making a persuasive argument can lead you to your desired result. Also, you can show how a fix would benefit the landlord. Lastly, by putting your request in writing, you are can show the landlord the potential for injury caused by a minor problem.
Mediation. There are often a number of free or low-cost mediation services that specialize in landlord-tenant relations. If your written request fails to get the repair done, you may want to seek out one of these mediation services. The service will get in touch with your landlord and invite him to come sit down with a neutral mediator to come to a resolution.
Report your landlord. There are often situations where a minor problem is actually a violation of some building or housing code. In these situations, if you have not had luck with the prior two tips, you may want to contact your local authority. These agencies can come out and inspect the problem and contact or fine the landlord regarding the issue. However, once you involve a governmental authority, you may sour the entire landlord-tenant relationship. This probably won't matter if you are only planning to stay in the rental unit for a few more months, but it will be hard if you plan on renting for a number of years.
Bring a lawsuit against your landlord. If nothing has worked, your last resort may likely be to bring a lawsuit against your landlord. In order to win your suit, you will need to prove that the problem resulted in a rental property that was not up to the value of the paid rent. If you can do so and win your suit, the judge will award you the difference between the rent you paid and the rent that should have been charged based on the condition of the rental property. However, a lawsuit will most likely end any good relationship you may have with your landlord, which is why it should always be a last resort.
