COMPLAINT DETAILS (from renter)

We have lived here for 2 years and in that time we have told and shown the landlord that the windows and ceiling fan leak and the damage it has created, because of the water damage the paint is chipping, peeling, and cracking; and because there has never been any lead inspection done, there is potential lead paint being exposed. The landlords solution to the water problem is to rearrange our furniture so that it doesn't get leaked on and to put buckets and towels down on the window sill. Also, due to water damage the panals on the walls are bowing outward, yet again exposing lead paint. The exterior paint of the building forms bubble pockets of water from excessive and improper painting. The bathroom bathtub wall panals have completely come unglued from the original wall and has formed black mold, due to moisture. We have also caught more than 20 mice and several shrews in our kitchen. I have provided pictures of my concerns.
