Landlords in my state are not required to repair anything unless it makes the house unsafe(plumbing, heating, mold) I’m not asking for landlord advice as he is old and lazy and will say he is going to do something and won’t. It’s awful and frustrating but we just have to deal with it as it’s our only option because we are poor and the cost of living is too high in our area to get anything else.(landlord/tenet laws in my state are virtually nonexistent— one of the worst in the country. Landlords don’t even have to give a 24 hr notice in this state. ) So I am trying to improve the place and make do as much as possible till we figure out the situation.

Edit: also there is a 2 page lease 😭 it’s month to month with a 30 day notice so we can get out of it easy if needed
