My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: GA
We moved in to a house 7/15/16. When we did the walk through there were a list of repairs they never got to prior to move in that were listed. Since move in we have had a leak in the bathroom which has now leaked for a month and a half. 3 repair people have come by but the leak has yet to be fixed. Carpet in the closet next to the leak has been completely saturated with water since day 1 and living room downstairs carpet gets wet every time the leak occurs. My landlord has never tried to correct the carpet situation (which we think probably has mold forming under the padding by now) and she has never attempted to fix any repair on the walk through list as of yet. Is there anything we can do? She is cheap and doesn't want to spend the money but there should be no reason why she can not repair what was promised by herself and her representative. My lease does not state this is an "as is" property. Can I just fix the issues and subtract it from the rent or do I need to go to court?
