  • Well, at least here in Oregon the renter has all the rights. In this case, at least in Oregon, the landlord once noticed is required to fix it in a reasonable amount of time. I would assume if it's not fixed in a reasonable amount of time, then you'd have grounds to break any agreement. Secondly, if he goes to court you'll probably have to pay to defend yourself, but should he be found in violation (which he appears to be..) he should be required to pay your court fees, among other fines he may or may not get.
  • Interesting. In Missouri it is just the opposite. The renter is totally responsible for everything. Even necessary items such as stove, refrigerator, heating, etc., is the responsibility of the tenant. When the rental agreement or lease is made here it is "as is" and it is up to the renter to discover any problems and have them fixed as a condition of the agreement, otherwise, if the defect is discovered later or occurs after the areement has been signed, the tenant/renter is completely responsible.
