Although your landlord may be ‘slow’ in making repairs (if they are supposed to) or in breach of any obligations because they dont do things as ‘fast’ as you want. You are not helpless why not just get a snow shovel out and do it yourself if your not happy?. Rent receipt? Pay with a check or money order if that is a problem. When does a landlord have to tell his tenant when and when not he is leaving an comming back? He does not have to check in with you nor you him unless your going to be gone in excess of a specific amount of time.

I understand the landlord doing his floor in that chemical does stink but you know, tough luck. As long as there is proper ventaliation (outside) nothing you can do. If your that sick stay at a friends house for a couple of days, unfair yes, breach of lease or your rights, no.

From what I read you seem to be unhappy and maybe rightfully so. If your month-to-month give a 30 day notice otherwise too bad. Sorry.
