If the landlord is unable to commence repairs within three business days for reasons beyond the landlord's control, the landlord shall inform the tenant of the reasons for the delay and set a reasonable tentative date on which repairs will commence.
Repairs to Correct Conditions Affecting Health and Safety - Section 64(a) and (b).
A. In the event that a health or safety condition exists in a dwellling which may constitute a violation of a State or County law, code, ordinance, or regulation which is designed to ensure health or safety in a dwelling unit, the tenant should ask the landlord to repair the condition immediately. If repairs are not performed, the tenant should call the Department of Health or other appropriate State or County Agency and ask for an inspection of the condition.Save 15% on selected pet products from Only Natural Pet Store.

2. The tenant may give the landlord two written estimates from qualified workers, at least five business days before the repair work is scheduled to begin. The landlord may require in writing a reasonable substitute worker or substitute material. Otherwise, the tenant may then proceed to have the necessary work done by the worker who provides the lower estimate.

Other Repairs -- Section 64(c). In some cases, conditions exist in the unit which need repair and which the landlord is obliged to maintain,
but which do not rise to the level of an emergency or create health or safety problems (see LANDLORD OBLIGATIONS: "Conditions a Tenant May Expect From Landlord"). The rental agreement itself may contain additional maintenance obligations for the landlord.Save 10% on Planet Dog toys. No coupon code required!
