I wrote a list because when we speak in person, he says the same thing, “yeah we have to get this stuff done and fixed, like I promised you when you moved in.”

I waited one month to get a working oven and another month getting dryer to work. All these appliances were here when I moved in and should be in working order, again, just like the LANDLORD said, not me.

The steps going down were rotted and dangerous, that took 4 months to repair.

I never said the items were necessities, just some, like rotted steps, leaking roof, and NO lighting. In my state, lighting is required by law by the owner/landlord.

Once again, the list is for his benefit, he seems to be very forgetful. I have never demanded, threatened, or argued with him. I am always polite, because again, HE said it, not me.

He also left his pool table here, when I moved in he asked me if I wanted to buy it. I said no. He said he would have it removed. That was in May, 5 months ago, the pool table is still here. So now I am storing it for him because he can’t or won’t afford to have it out. I don’t care if its here or not, but he said it would be removed………….

Relax!! You’ve probably made your landlord extremely annoyed with your list of “Non-essential” repairs. Unless you have a real repair need, I would suggest doing away with demands and list of repairs.

If you like the place, consider how much of a burden you are placing on your landlord… If you are constantly finding minor repair issues and making long lists you will most likely find yourself looking for a new place to live. If you were my tenant, I wouldn’t renew your contract.

(This is based upon your post above that really has no evidence of major repair issue.) I’d be interested to see your list.
