How to Withhold Rent and Negotiate Repairs - The Fair Deal Approach - Timothy S. Kelly, Esquire

I've defended hundreds of tenants and helped them save money on rent using a straightforward process you can follow even without an attorney.

First, create a clear written record of all problems in your unit and how your landlord treats you. Send it to them.

If they don't engage respectfully, withhold rent but don't spend it. Set it aside in a separate account you control.

Tell your landlord you'll make a deal: do the necessary repairs, follow the law, treat you with respect, and give an appropriate rent reduction for the time these problems existed.

Then you'll pay the remainder and resume fair rent.

A sensible landlord will engage. You can reach a settlement that preserves your rights and restores respect.
