Re: Witholding payment of rent
Blocking entrances etc could constitute a safety hazard. Call the city building code enforcement department and discuss the cirumstances with them. You may also want to take pictures of the conditions at the entrances etc.
If the city will not take action to alleviate the situation, then contact an attorney.
