Who’s fault is it? Landlord or Tenant?

Since the apartment leak is damaging your belongings, I would tell you to file a claim with your insurance company.  However, since the apartment roof leak is recurring I would think that your landlord be responsible for some of the cost.  The law won’t say much about this– so its one of those subjects that may require additional help.  You can probably file an RPA Complaint, and that would do.  Probably not worth hiring an attorney, though.

Hello Becky. I am sorry to hear about your landlord and RE agent issues. It is a good thing that you have everything documented but the cleaning and upkeep of the property is your responsibility while you are there. If the vents, garage and all other areas of the house has been filthy when you moved in, you need to have proof of that too. Regarding your lung infection, does the medical certificate particularly say that it was caused by the dirty vents. I would suggest that you get all of these in formal documents by filing a complaint with the RPA.
