Re: Landlord wont repair

If you believe that the landlord has neglected to make repairs that he is required to (and it's questionable based on the facts you present wnether such repairs are required) you can bring a proceeding in Housing Court asking th e court to order the landlord to make the necessary repairs.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
