In many places, you can write and deliver a letter to your landlord stating the deficits, and giving them a reasonable time to fix it, before proceeding to hire someone on your own to fix it. You can deduct that amount from your rent. It is amazing how fast things get fixed when you state that.

There's your freedom! Freedom of free enterprise without government influence! Freedom to f@#k customers in the behind even if they're always right.

"Landlord Covered My Windows With Plastic"

"I was shocked when I came home from work and saw plastic covering every window in my apartment. I reached out to the property management and they told me it was for “waterproofing” the building. Asked for a date when it would be removed and they said they “weren’t sure”. It’s cutting off ventilation and I’m having to run my AC in 70 degree weather because it’s almost 80 degrees in my apartment with this plastic on. I asked if they would subsidize a portion of my electric bills since I will be needing to run the AC, which they said they would “get back to me about” but of course they didn’t"
