I was nervous at first, but after I filed the complaint with the RPA my landlord finally took care of a leaking pipe. Ever since I filed the complaint, it seems like my landlord respects me more. You know you are protected against landlord retaliation, so if you can’t get them to respond– file a landlord complaint.

If your landlord refuses, file a landlord complaint with the RPA. If you’re really desparate, the $35 processing fee will be money well spent.
Good Luck

So I wouldn’t ever suggest doing that. The only work around would be to create a paper trail such as filing a complaint with the RPA, or having an attorney draft up a document for you. Be cautious with how you proceed.
