Terrible bedroom ceiling leak and the landlord isn’t doing anything.

By Alison

My lease will be up in the middle of May, but since November I have had a terrible leak on my bedroom ceiling. They supposedly fixed the problem (which I was told was the apartment above me, their leaking radiator) and then plastered the cracks on my ceiling. Not even a week later, the problem came back. A few weeks after that they came to paint the ceiling, but I told them that it was leaking again, so that will do me no good. I constantly told them about this problem. I give them days and hours in which I will be home, so they can make the necessary fixes. (I exercise my right to be home if anyone is going to be entering to make those fixes.) I dont know if their maintenance department intentionally come at times I am not home or don’t come at all….but I can say I have not gotten one "missed appointment notice". I want to know if I can either get a reduction in rent or PREFERABLY break my lease with no reprocuctions. Thank you. Also, if you can tell me the steps to follow and maybe a link proving you’re suggestions relating to my rights.
