Toddson, contact the building inspector. They can fine the landlord for not doing repairs. Not sure if there is a time limit on that, though. Depends on your city code, I suspect. You might also be able to withhold rent until it's fixed. I went through something like that in Ann Arbor years ago and the building inspector gave really good advice.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Yeah and DC has pretty strong renters laws—there ought to be some folks out there who can help you at least know what all your rights are. Especially if you're considered a senior (I don't know how old you are but sometimes that designation starts at random ages for different things!)

They fixed the leak, pulled down the plaster that was in the process of coming down and painters arrive Friday. So they're doing all right. Thanks for the support.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Glad to hear that, Toddson!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I've started getting cards - not sure if part of the exchange (I did not sign up) or not, but Thank you dcp and Calli.
I love us.
I am sending out things sporadically. I had things for some of you that I am taking the holiday card situation and me moving as impetus to finally mail them out.

my card for Laura did, too.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh no! Pretty sure my address was correct on the list.
I got all my cards out the last couple days, and 35 to family and non-Buffista friends too! First time in many years.

Maybe we just made a mistake, then. I have your address for sure now, your card was neat too. We liked everyone's, but Lisa's one with the live reindeer gets a lot of attention.

The cards were a brilliant idea! I haven't done cards in about forever but now need to do it in the future as well.
