high cost of renting

Tweet

I rent this really nice place for 1550 a month, and it is on nearly an acre and really beautiful. The problem is the landlords don't care about it just their rent. The place came with a washer and dryer, and the washer went a month after moving in, she said it was a luxery if i want one to buy one, so i did. but i'm not leaving it when my lease runs out..(don't plan on renewing it) then the basement has one small area that leaks for the gutters need repairing, screens needed in windows etc. she said if i want them to fix/buy myself. haven't used the oven in months for just the pilot works, door aren't lined up so all you have to do is push on them to open when they're locked, fire alarms go off all hours of the day & night due to heat sensored. and i can go on. these are minor things yet they will turn into bigger problems if they don't get fixed. We do the yard work, shovel snow off roof and do what we can. but some things i think she should fix like the oven. holidays are coming so now i am going to my daughters for i can't have the family here with no working stove. i told her in feb and even showed her plus the refrigerator doesn't shut all the way you have to push it to be sure its closed. they said we'll be back to fix these, and now its nov and still no show. i am thinking about just not paying the rent til these are fixed. Is that legal or will i get an eviction? i never got evicted before nor did i have problems like this with a landlord. my lease runs out in 2months, so i am thinking about just moving now if i could find something,,is that wrong too or do i still have to pay here as well? any advice would be nice..and well appreciated. thank you
