Posted by brenda sellers on May 03, 2001 at 01:24:11:

our lease is up june 1 and we now have may rent due, our question is can we the tenants lawful applied our deposit towards our last months rent.
we rent a place and deposit is the same. we have informed our landlord of air condition problems that has been going on 2 months now. also we have been having septic tank problems since we moved in, landlord supposely fixed septic problem but in process has left the sewer lines and the septic tank uncovered has been almost 3 weeks now. what legal recourse do we have with all of these problems. we have paid all rent on time and all bills incurred with this property since we moved in 12 months next month. we have had continuing problems with sewer back up in the house and have informed landlord of all problems. we are at a lose as to what legal grounds we have.

thank you for any and all help
