Hello and welcome! My name is ***** ***** I am a licensed attorney and will try my best to help with your situation.
.
You will likely be offered a live phone call by the website. It is not from me.
.
If you would like a call, another attorney will provide that service. I only work on the website. and prefer to type my responses so they are in front of you.
.
There may be a short delay in my responses as I type out an answer or reply as I am an actual independent practicing attorney, not an employee of JustAnswer.

I have been living in an apartment for 2.5 years and the tenant has not made a single repair regardless of numerous requests.
.
Do you mean the landlord hasn't made repairs?
barristerinky, Expert
Ok. with that many things, your fastest option is to call the local Code Enforcement or Housing Inspector's office and request an inspection. They can come out and inspect and then force the landlord to make repairs or face fines and other penalties for refusing. That also gives you a report as insurance against the landlord illegally retaliating against you..

You could sue them if you have suffered damages, like health issues... But you have to have provable damages in order to recover in court..
