Reply to comment by Quinnlos in Shitty landlord, what do we do? by Quinnlos

Sounds like a good plan. I'm telling you. Money will get their attention. It's harder to evict you then to fix the items beed repairing. Just make sure you dont spend the money youre witholding.And I'm pretty sure you have the right to excersise rent withholding for poor conditions or maintenance/repair issues.

Sounds good to me, thankfully our rent account is always in good standing to avoid issues regarding money expenditure so that shouldn’t be an issue, but we’ve got a letter written up with all previously mentioned repair issues and have let them know that we have a hard stop of January 31st before we take legal action at this point.

You have to apply to pay your rent into escrow. Elm St courthouse. Otherwise they can begin eviction proceedings.

I’ve read about this in brief elsewhere but had completely forgotten, I definitely will be reaching out to the courthouse to get next stepping from them as well
