here is an excerpt:

“Right to Repairs
When you first take over residency of the property, your landlord must provide you with the name and address and/or telephone number of an individual who you can contact if you experience problems with the unit. This does not necessarily have to be landlord, however, and it may be a maintenance worker or property manager. The landlord is responsible for ensuring that either he or another qualified repair person completes all repairs in a “reasonable” amount of time. What constitutes “reasonable” will vary depending on the circumstances; for example, it would be reasonable to expect the landlord to repair a broken heater within 24 hours during the winter months, but during the summer months, the landlord may wait a few months without violating your rights as a tenant. The landlord is also solely responsible for ensuring all repairs comply will all applicable local housing codes. If your landlord refuses to repair a major problem, you retain the right to report him to the county building or health inspector. You landlord cannot evict you or otherwise retaliate against you for requesting repairs or reporting him if he fails to adequately respond to your requests. ”

The last sentence answers your question (to some degree).

Now, I’m having major sewer problems at the residence I rent. This would be considered health hazard
and a violation of one of the city’s housing codes. I am currently working with my landlord to expedite
repairs. The problem has been ongoing for over three years. The previous owner “quick fixed” the
sewer problem with a rotor rooter, then dumped the property on the current landlord who wants to pay
as little as possible in repairs. The current landlord could also do a temporary fix just to keep the sewer
open, but it will back up again.

Dealing with landlords is tricky. When a building inspector gets involved landlords panic if there are
problems they want to hide or not take care of.

From what I have read, a landlord cannot evict you for reasonable and needed repair requests.
They can refuse to renew your lease and unfortunately for you and I, there is nothing that can be
done at that point without spending a lot of money on a lawyer. From what you wrote it appears as
if you are on a month-to-month lease. You may try to get a yearly lease in the future to protect
your residency and possible rent increases.

I wish you well and hope you situation improves. Hope this information helps.
