You can get plaster (spackle?) in a tub at Home Depot or Lowes. Fill in the hole with the plaster. You might have to let it dry so it's hard before you put another layer on it - depends how deep the hole is. Once it's filled in, you'll need to sand it so that it's as smooth as the wall. A little paint and you should be set.

This is a liability exposure on your landlord's part, as he is the owner of the property that caused the damage.  You should file a claim against his commercial general liability policy.  They will determine if he is liable or not.  If he is found to be liable for the damage they will pay for the repairs.  There is no need to sue anybody, just file a claim and see what happens from there.  The adjuster who handles it from his insurance company will just ask if it was rotten and if it looked like it needed to be removed, if this is the case he is liable and his insurance will pay.  I am an adjuster and we pay these claims when there are obvious signs of rot and if the owner of the property knew of the problem.  If it is a healthy tree and there was no way of preventing it on your landlords part, he is not liable. Good luck.

Let the potential landlord know your situation.  Also, they tend to look at the score only, not the actual report.\n\nWorse comes to worse, offer additional security deposit.

I would talk to a lawyer to discuss your options. There might be a chance the landlord is found guilty of negligence.

Keep an eye on your property as well. Do a physical check at least once a week. We just moved from an apartment complex that looked good on the surface but had many many health code voilations. Plumbing leaked and caused toxic mold under the sinks in the kitchen and bathroom, Mice, spiders, floor with an extreme weak spot, When I sent a certified letter, asking for repairs to be made, The landlord called Child services on me!

Run the AC.  It might not costs as much as you think.  Close all the windows, check for air leaks around doors and windows.  If you find air leaks have the landlord fix them.  If he wont then you fix them with supplies from your local hardware store.  (you can deduct the cost from your rent if you show a receipt)  Also turning off lights makes it seem cooler in the house.

Get a lawyer ASAP!  \n\nAs the landlord, you are the property owner so any improvements to that building's structure is your property.  \n\nLaws always depend on which state you are from however.  Like for example, I am in NY, I just recently moved from a house owned by someone else (alcoholic jerk).  Structurally we did not do anything different to it because we did not have that kind of money.  We remodeled the bathroom though and painted and put new carpets down. We put new lights in also. Legally we were allowed to take our carpets, lights and sinks and medicine cabinet back and take it with us as long as we left the house with the original fixtures it had.  \n\nIf we had replaced the roof and siding we can't very well rip it off right?  Otherwise we would have to replace it. \n\nIf they want to take that addition off they would have to foot the bill and fix the big hole in the house with new plywood, new insulation, probably a window/door, and new siding. They would also have to fix the inside of that room with new paint/wallpaper and probably have to fix the floor after being connected to a room that isn't there anymore. I doubt they would want that added cost.

I would advise against changing the locks, keeping their valuables, etc.  This will only make the problem worse.  \n\nI would talk to the landlord about your problem- perhaps he/she will have better luck with the attorneys/courts.  Also, if the landlord can't help you, try finding another attorney.  They can't all be bad and they can help you with the eviction.\n\nIf all else fails, just call the cops if they show up.  The police will help you sort everything out.  Or, you could always move.

Oh you are opening up pandora's box!  Do  you really want tenants working on your property?  You are opening yourself up to a lot of liability issues there.  Definetly speak with a lawyer, but as a property manager I would say not a good idea!  If I let the tenants make decisions about repairs/maintenance/upkeep around here there would be mayhem!  I can't tell you how many people knock on my door daily....to ask to borrow a plunger! ugh!  Seriously though, think about your investment, you want to protect it right?  People tend to care for their own property much better than those who are merely renting!

It will probably be a seperate bill. You should ask the landlord.

OK,, you CAN go to small claims court and dispute the damage.\nHowever is 350$ REALLY worth it(keep in mind -- you will have to miss work, pay court fees, etc.)?\nIf it is go to your local small claims and file a claim.\nIf it is not do not do anything. \nDO not pay anything, let the landlord sue you if she Wants 119 so bad she can sue you.

Call the Department of Health. The landlord has probably broken the lease and you can move with your deposit. I would have already moved if it's been since October. That is BS! I have kids mysself and I would not put up with that. I had a mold problem and I told the landlord I can move out because he did not provide aduquite quarters for my family, and I had to pay rent for a bathroom that I didn't even use. Good luck!

Sweetie?  Go ahead and buy that ac unit and tell your landlord you have taken it off your rent.  Provide him with a receipt and voila, you have what you need.  I have been doing that to my owner of my condo for two years now.  Anything that needs to be replaced, I take care of myself, and include a letter with the rent money minus the cost of the new air conditioner, garbage disposal, dishwasher, etc.  It worked for me but actually, only you know your landlord well enough to know if he will have a hissy fit if you take this approach or what not.  Know what I mean?  I have lived in West Virginia and I know that life can be unbearable due to the humidity in the Summer months.\n\nYou have to have your rent money to pay, so go ahead and get it yourself.  It will cost you nothing and there isn't much he can do about it, because believe it or not, West Virginia is not considered prime real estate and most owners are just happy to be able to rent their property out to a steady, good tenant.  Good luck on your cool adventure.  LOL!
