Q: regarding housing and landlord
if the land lord failed to make repairs and put my kids in danger, i am still married but live out of states due to work, i pay the full rent and come see my kids, i try to make some repairs, can i take the land lord to court to supreme court instead of housing court which is a joke to me, what option do i have as a father legally before something bad happen to my kids? thank you in advance
A: Generally, the most appropriate forum to demand repairs in a landlord/tenant situation is in Housing Court through an HP Proceeding. It would be unusual, costly and most probably substantially slower to try to commence a case in Supreme Court to compel repairs.
