Q: Moved into my place October of 2017. Conditions of the repairs on the lease still haven’t been met. Must I take court
Repairs have not been made as stipulated in the lease amongst other things. They refuse to return calls and answer emails regarding repairs. What do I do?
A: If repairs regarding the rental unit were agreed upon, such terms should be included in the Lease Agreement, including the procedure for remedy in the case of default. Most likely, there is a notice requirement that should be delivered to the Landlord in the manner described. If the Landlord continues to fail to comply, then you will be entitled to a remedy, which may be described in the Lease Agreement and/or include filing suit, damages, termination of Lease Agreement, or as otherwise described. If the repairs were verbally agreed upon, your remedies may be limited. I would start by reviewing your Lease Agreement carefully and consult with an attorney if you do not determine any direction as to the recourse available.
