This will depend on where you live. I lived in Toronto Canada and had a problem with air conditioning not working. The units were advertised as air conditioned in all rooms. One did not work at all ,it doubled as a heater in winter. We had it running not knowing prior to our renting, it had been on fire! The compressor was no longer installed . Could have had another fire and lost my family. We found out for every month it was not working ( as long as it is stated as being included in lease, and you have put in the proper repair orders)they would have to back pay $50 per unit per month, and would be required to repair and keep in working order. If you get no where and qualify go see your community lawyers for advice. It really depends on location and laws for your area, hope that helps!\n\nMore~SECTION 118. Duties of landlord and tenant\n\nA landlord shall at all times during the tenancy: \nExcept in the case of a single-family residence, keep all common areas of his building, grounds, facilities and appurtenances in a dean, safe and sanitary condition; \nMake all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the tenant's dwelling unit and premises in a fit and habitable condition, \nMaintain in good and safe working order and condition all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and other facilities and appliances, including elevators, supplied or required to be supplied by him; \nExcept in the case of one-or two-family residences or where provided by a governmental entity, provide and maintain appropriate receptacles and conveniences for the removal of ashes, garbage, rubbish and other waste incidental to the occupancy of the dwelling unit and arrange for the frequent removal of such wastes; and \nExcept in the case of a single-family residence or where the service is supplied by direct and independently-metered utility connections to the dwelling unit, supply running water and reasonable amounts of hot water at all times and reasonable he-at.

there's most likely a clause in the lease saying they can enter when they deem it necessary, like putting out a fire if you're not there, or checking for a reported problem when you're gone.  he's probably just abusing this.  either deal with it or suck it up and move.

In my state  you have the legal right to hire someone to do the repairs or buy the parts and do the repairs yourself and present your landlord with the receipts instead of the rent. But before you do this you must present the problem to your landlord in writing and give him 30 days to respond. After that time you can do the above. You can not just simply refuse to pay the rent.

Your question really isn't clear at all.\n\n1st floor -tenant - own gas & electric\n\n2nd floor - landlord - garbage, heat & water, plus bill for gas & electric for the entire house.\n\nObviously, both of those statements cannot be true because they are contradictory.\n\nAre the units individually metered?\n\nHow is the building heated?\n\nWho paid $900?  \n\nThe tenants found out what?\n\nHow do they know what they were "averaging"?  Who says that was their "average" useage?\n\nCan who get their money back?  For what?

The problems with the air conditioning causing you ill health can be several, examples of these are as follows:\n1) Filters have not been replaced\n2) No maintenance has been carried out on AC Plant\n3) No health and safety inspection been carried out by Safety Rep\n4) No air sample taken for analysis\n5) No Risk Assessment has been made by management\n6) Vents not been cleaned\n7) Sick building syndrome\n\nRecommendation's\n\n1) See your safety rep and ask that a air quality analysis be carried out by qualified person's. Your School has a duty of care under the Health and Safety Act 1974.\n2) If your School refuses to do this, then your safety rep should contact the Health and Safety Executive\n3) Vist the HSE website for further unformation

State laws differ. Go online and check for your city or county department of housing. or google your state name and "tenants rights". I have tons of landlord problems so I have checked the CA tenants rights page a lot. I am sure you will find your state has many easy to understand guidelines. I state my problem in a registered letter  and/or email to my landlord and keep the receipts and copies. If you can show that you made efforts to inform the landlord of the problem and that the problem is important to your safety or enjoyment of the apartment it is usually\nfine, up to a certain amount. Your air conditioner would certainly qualify but, still, check the tenancy laws in your city, If you are a renter, you owe it to yourself to know a lot more about the laws.\nKnowledge is Power

do you have copies of the complaints you made? on what days you made them? and to whom?\n\nif so, contcat your local/govenment fair housing authority.\n\nas for free rent...not likely. if they sent people to fix it, in a timely fashion after yoru complain was made, (within a week) then you have no case to sue.

Check with a local A/C repairman and ask about a product named:  "Freeze 12"  It should be a readily available replacement for the R-12.    Conversion to R-134 is preferred, however is rather expensive due to mechanical changes that must be made to system.

no, you can however, fix the air unit yourself (hire someone to fix it) and ask the landlord to reimburse you. if he doesnt, you could deduct the cost from the rent and attach a copy of the receipt where you ahd it repaired along with your payment for rent that month, and a letter explaining the details of this matter and why you are deducting the repairs cost from rent.\n\nhopefully, the landlord will pay for the repairs right away.\nhope this works out for you!

Try your local churches.  My neighbor is getting help now for his heating bill from our local church.  He is not a member but they are willing to help him....Good Luck!

...Is your gas and heat part of utilities addendum in your lease agreement?   If so asking the landlord to extract out a separate bill for just you would be discriminatory action against ALL the OTHER residents. He would be very reluctant to do that. Anything a landlord provides to one resident, he must be prepared to provide equally for all other residents.  For instance an announcement is attached to the office door/window for all to see...OR placed on all tenants doors. Time consuming for him to do.

It is very important to understand that in most leases of this type you are responsible for just about everything in the space. This includes air conditioning. The owner is responsible to provide a roof, walls, floor, building code compliance, power from the pole to the electrical box, and water from the meter to the main valve after the meter. Everything else is yours to repair. Be sure to have a full inspection done of the systems involved. Be sure utilities are in your name and not shared with other stores. If it is shared, be sure that the calculation for your space is accurate.\n\nThere is also the possibility of what is called an escallation charge. This has a base year for owner expenses for the property that can be billed back to the tenants each year. They look at the base year costs, (usually the year you lease) and compare it to present costs and allot the difference equally between the tenants based on square footage.\n\nContact several commercial property leasing companies. The best would be to have an agent act for you in this manner in order to be sure all of your rights are protected. I strongly recommend this since this is your first experience.

Notice requirements are determined by state or local law and your lease; and if the law differs with the lease, the one that is most favorable to the tenant usually tops.\n\nYour friend has a right to be present for any non-emergency repairs unless state law says otherwise, but sometimes that simply isn't practical because a repairmans schedule is subject to so many variables.  Unless she is the first appointment, she could be stuck sitting around for hours or even days.  It comes down to if she wants to be there, she is stuck with a vague timeline and having to wait.\n\nCan't she just let the caretaker handle it?
