i have been dealing with my slum lord since i moved into his dump in Nov..i wrote letters for repairs..cracked windows, horrible mice and roaches,no locks on windows, trash in yard, non-working stove, no receipts for cash payments..etc. etc, but he said i was crazy and wouldn't fix them
i have been with holding rent because he refuses to fix these problems..i reported him to the housing dept,and he turned off our electricity in retaliation and i had to call the police(for the second time)..he threatens, etc..he has now 23 violations with the hpd, & only two have been fixed..even the people in apt downstairs have complained to the housing dept..
here is the deal..today i get a notice to pay rent(2 months) in 5 days on my door..it is signed by him, but the spot where an "agent" signs is blank..also it is dated the 7th and today is the 10th..it says i am justly indebted..required to pay on or before 5 days or surrender possesion, in default of which, ll will commence summary proceedings..i am freaking out because i thought i had him by the balls with this warranty of habitability and such...what do i do?
