Question

I've heard of code enforcement...can they help???

Answer 1

You can go to your courts system and put the land owners money in escrow. You make a statement, saying all the things that is wrong. And they will not give him/her your rent money until it's up to your county codes.And they will come and check before he/she gets the rent money. And don't let him fool you into think he can evict you..he/she can't

Answer 2

We have code enforcement here in Florida..The agencies in different states have the same services except may be called by a different name...The telephone is usually up to the renter, but ac/heat and fridge is usually furnished by the landlord..Look at your lease and call your local courthouse..see what the agencies name is that takes care of this..
