Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey

I live in a rental apt, and I have reported on several occasions, an ongoing leak in one of my bedrooms, which happens every time there's heavy rain. I have resided at this residence for approximately 14yrs and my rent is, and always have been paid on time. What rights do I have as a tenant?
