I AM IN SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. I HAD SIGNED A LEASE WITH MY EX-FIANCEE ALMOST FOUR YEARS AGO. THE LEASE WAS FOR A YEAR AND NO LEASE HAS BEEN MADE SINCE. WHEN WE MOVED IN THE HOUSE, THE LANDLORD PROMISED TO REPLACE THE KITCHEN CABINETS, AND NEVER HAS. I HAVE ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING PROBLEMS. THE LANDLORD HAS ONLY PUT GENERAL MAINTENCE MONEY IN THE HOUSE. MOSTLY WITH THE PLUMBING AND CARPENTER ANTS. NOW, SHE IS TRYING TO RAISE THE RENT AND I DON'T FEEL THERE IS A REASON TO RAISE THE RENT BECAUSE SHE HAS NOT LIVED UP TO WHAT SHE ORIGINALLY SAID SHE WAS GOING TO DO AND SHE ONLY FIXED THINGS WHEN MY MOTHER KNOWS OF A SITUATION. IN DECEMBER, THE PIPES UNDER THE HOUSE FROZE AND I COULDN'T LIVE IN MY HOUSE. I ASKED HER FOR $30.00 FOR THE 2 DAYS THAT I MISSED IMPORTANT CALLS AND COULDN'T LIVE IN MY HOUSE. SHE IS REFUSING SAYING I AM NOT ENTITLED BECAUSE MY BELONGINGS WERE IN THE HOUSE.SHE SAYS THAT IT IS MY FAULT THAT THE PIPES FROZE BECAUSE I DIDN'T GO BEHIND THE PEOPLE SHE HIRED TO TREAT THE CARPENTER ANTS AND CLOSE A DOOR THAT'S IN A CRAWL SPACE UNDER THE HOUSE. THE RAILINGS OUT FRONT ARE RUSTED AND BROKE AND SHE IS BLAMING ME FOR THAT. I AM A DIABETIC, AND I KNOW THAT LANDLORDS MUST PROVIDE RUNNING HOT WATER AT ALL TIMES. NOW, SHE IS TRYING TO EVICT ME FOR NON-PAYMENT OF RENT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SENT THEM TO HER AND SHE RETURNED THEM TO ME BECAUSE 1). I HAD STATED IN A LETTER THAT IF SHE KEPT THE MONEY, SHE WOULD AGREE TO REPAY ME MY $30.00, 2). SHE TOOK THE RENT UP IN MARCH AND I PAID WHAT MY ORIGINAL LEASE STATED. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS SITUATION? I GO TO COURT ON APRIL 19, 2001.

THANK YOU,

DIONA DANIELS-JONES
