Wow. First of all it is her responsibility to have all of these problems fixed. I think its in your right to not pay the rent until she fulfills all her landlady duties.
and yes, it is her responsibility. not to mention the fact that her entering without prior authorization is against the law here in wisconsin. and she's done it on multiple occasions.
(and since gmail isn't letting me respond through e-mail, having to post via lj, and currently logged in under personal account, thus this is indeed me, by a different name.)
If the answer is no then yer boned and that sucks. If yes on the other hand...
2) If you do have a lease then she cannot make you move anywhere no matter what you may or may not have paid in rent thus far since these are the winter months and such is the law in WI.
3) If she was in your apartment, then she was in it without your permission which is also illegal.
If you have a lease you should not only likely be entitled to paying less rent than what the lease says (due to your inconvenience what with the water leaks, lack of water, and such). On top of that she broke into your place and you are likely entitled to some sort of compensation for that as well. Well done with the pictures though -- those are always useful if things come down to the courts.
1. had a lease, which was officially up last august.
3. unfortunately, while it is illegal, it is also a gray area, given the condition, she could 'have been effecting neccessary repairs,' as the nice man in black with the silver badge said. and as such, was a civil matter, not a criminal.
Man, it sucks when life gets messy like that. I hope it all works out for you. If you end up with no where to go, you can always come crash with me in Memphis, heheh. :P
Seriously though, I'm sorry you have to deal with all that BS. Things will start looking up for you soon. Just hang in there. *hugs*
