This outlet is shooting sparks continuesly. Wiring looks bad and is causing power to turn on and off by itself. Cannot turn power on in half of house or it will catch outlet on fire. Landlord has so far made no attempt to fix this hazard. It has been over 24 hours since my call to him with no confirmation of fixing this problem. Landlord has stated this is a costly matter and rather than fix it he has given us 1.5 months to move out.

COMPLAINT DETAILS (from renter)

Landlord has been informed via phone that outlets are sparking and power is turning off and on by itself. Landlord has told me to "make due" and has not made any arrangements to have my electricity fixed because he stated that it is too costly for him to repair it. I have had previous issues with electricity and landlord has not always acknowledged these. I have to keep the circuit breaker shut off so that my house will not catch fire, resulting in very limited electricity in my home. Landlord has been told previously about the dry rotted windows in the attic bedroom but has overlooked them numerous times. They are dry rotted and falling apart, allowing cold air to enter house. When informed about electrical issue landlord informed me that my family and I now have 1.5 months to vacate the property due to electrical issues/plumbing issues that he is not willing to pay to get fixed. Landlord has tried selling house numerous times to no avail. He has stated he is going to let it go into foreclosure. Landlord has stated numerous times that he is not willing to fix anything else in this house due to not being able to sell it to a new owner.
