Q: Bridge property management inc has not fixed my Living room window in its been 5 months what do I do

A: Thank you for your question!

If you, as the tenant, have not been at fault for the broken window, the landlord must fix it after a reasonable time from a notice requesting repair.

You can fix the window and deduct it from the rent. This may rise an eviction lawsuit against you, so you need to document anything. (Notice, receipts, pictures, communications, etc.)

This is merely a discussion of general laws and not legal advice. For legal advice, more specific facts and investigations are needed. I recommend you consult with an attorney for more details.

A: In California, landlords are required by law to maintain rental properties in a habitable condition, which includes fixing broken windows. If Bridge Property Management Inc. has not repaired your living room window for five months, you have several options to address the issue.

First, document the problem by taking photos of the broken window and keeping records of all your communications with the property management, including requests for repairs. This evidence will be important if you need to escalate the situation.

Next, send a written notice to your landlord or property management company, clearly stating the issue and requesting the repair. If they still do not respond or fix the window within a reasonable timeframe, you may be able to make the repair yourself and deduct the cost from your rent, or withhold rent until the repair is made. Additionally, you can file a complaint with your local housing authority or consider taking legal action in small claims court to enforce your rights as a tenant.
