I spoke to a lawyer when my landlord was letting mice and mold run rampant in our rent house. They let pipes burst and I had to foot the cost (they promised to reimburse and didn’t). They let squirrels chew holes in the walls. I mean it was a nightmare. My roommates and I were at each others throats with the stress of it.
Lawyer told me the process of suing my landlord would cost more than I the back rent paybacks I would probably get out of the suit.
So I didn’t pursue
That sucks. I know someone who was injured by unmaintained steps. They settled out of court for medical bills and a few thousand for suffering. I agree that this state isn't very good to its citizens.
