    Default Landlord not fixing house related problems

    Hi,

    I'm an international student and not familiar with the tenant-landlord laws over here.

    The central air-conditioning system stopped working a few weeks back and the landlord has not fixed it inspite of bringing this issue up with them many times.

    Is there anything else I can do to force them to fix this problem (it's not fun living in the winter without a heater) or do I need to hire some legal representation who can request them to fix it within a certain period of time?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks and Merry Christmas.

    Default Tenants' Rights in Missouri

    tkop,

    The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) offers some links to Missouri landlord-tenant resources, including sources of legal help. If your college has a "student legal services" office or a tenant's union, you may wish also to check with them to see if they can assist you.

    Hi Aaron,

    Thank you so much for you immediate response.

    I'm going to check with my college on monday to see if they have any services that can assist me.

    I am also going to give my landlord an ultimatum and state that I will take this up with him in court if he does not have this fixed by 2 weeks.

    Also, do you know of any forums where I can ask a question regarding a traffic violation?

    Thanks again for your help! Merry Christmas!

    Default Landlord Troubles

    You would probably be well served to wait to give any ultimatum to your landlord, until after you have spoken with a lawyer.
