Re: landlord/tenant

Your explanation doesn't state whether the removal of the water meter interrupted your water service. If it did you can raise it as an affirmative defense for habitability and/or for constructive eviction. You may also be able to file a separate lawsuit against the landlord for damages depending on a number of other facts which your attorney can explore with you.
