Hard Times

Yesterday I woke up to find the ceiling leaking again. I don't understand why Slumlord is so cavalier about resolving this issue. It may be that he has every legal right to be.

In the first year, if you’ve registered (and only if you’ve registered) your lease at City Hall, you are pretty much guaranteed a place to live with repairs and maintenance supplied by the landlord at a specific price (your rent.) After that, all bets are off. This is the state that most of us are in. It only takes five to ten days to get you out after that. You are now at the mercy of the landlord – the kindness of strangers, so to speak.
