: I HAD SIGNED A YEAR LEASE IN DECEMBER OF 2000. MY PROBLEM IS I WOULD LIKE OUT OF THE LEASE. THE LANDLORD DOES NOT MAKE THE REQUIRED REPAIRS UNTIL HE FEELS LIKE IT OR THE RENT IS DUE. AT THIS POINT I'M ABOUT READY TO STOP PAYING RENT AND FACE EVICTION. ALL OF MY APT WINDOWS HAVE PROBLEMS, WHETHER THEY FALL IN FROM THE WIND OR THE GLASS IS BROKEN. I ALSO HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD AND NO WINDOW GUARDS. THE APT IS ROACHED INFESTED AND I HAVE ASKED THEM TO PLEASE FUMIGATE, THERE ANSWER: "THE WOMEN DOWNSTAIRS IS DIRTY!!" THE KITHCHEN CABINETS ARE ROACH INFESTED AND INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE OLD WOOD ONES, THEY HAD STAPLED FLOOR TILES TO THEM. THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN MY KITCHEN SOCKET THAT RUNS UNDER MY SINK, WHEN DOING DISHES YOU FEEL THE SURGE AND GET SHOCKED, MY LL ANSWER: "PLACE A MAT ON THE FLOOR"
: LAST WEEKEND WE DID NOT HAVE ANY HOT WATER FOR OVER 24 HOURS, I WAS TOLD BY THE LL THE BOILER WAS BROKE. WELL IT WASNT, THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY OIL AND SOME GUY IN A REG. TRUCK ( NOT AN OIL TRUCK) PULLED UP WITH 3 10 GAL. CONTAINERS FULL OF OIL AND FILLED UP THE TANK, OR WHATEVER. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS WITH THE RENT, I PAY $1000 FOR AN APT THAT'S NOT EVEN WORTH IT. WE HAD AGREED THE RENT WAS TO BE PAID BY THE 15TH OF EA. MONTH, BUT I FEEL HARASSED BY THEM. I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS FROM MY LANDLORD AND THEY CONSTANTLY LEAVE THEIR APT DOOR OPEN, WHICH IS A NUSANCE. THEY DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHEN I COME AND GO AND I CERTAINLY DON'T NEED TO SEE/ HEAR WHAT GOES ON IN THERE APT.
: I NEED TO KNOW WHAT ARE MY LEGAL RIGHTS..I LIVE IN NYC.
