Rental Laws in Indiana? What are the laws of Indiana to the extent that the rights of the tenant to have repairs made. I had a leaking toilet drain sewage. It destroyed the ceiling and carpet. He felt here and there is mildew on the ceiling.
I advise you to call a lawyer. Most states require the landlord to make these repairs within a certain period of time. You can "repair and deduct" in some states, which means that you pay for the repair and remove it from your rent. However, a lawyer will be able to give you a free consultation that you do and what currently applies for Indiana. Whatever you need to keep careful track of when you report the problem to your landlord, the date and time that each of you say every time you talked about these issues.
