Landlord Refuses To Fix Leaky Roof, What Are My Options?

Card image cap

Hey everyone, I need some urgent advice regarding a landlord-tenant issue. I've been dealing with a persistent leaky roof in my apartment for the past few months. Despite multiple complaints and requests for repairs, my landlord has been neglecting the issue, citing various excuses.

Not only is the leak causing damage to my personal belongings, but it's also becoming a serious health hazard with mold starting to form. I've tried to reason with my landlord, but they seem indifferent to my concerns.

I'm at my wit's end and don't know what steps I can take to compel my landlord to address this problem promptly. Can anyone here offer some guidance on what my rights are as a tenant in this situation? Any advice on how to escalate this matter legally without causing too much friction with my landlord would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
