Demand Rent Waivers Until Landlords Complete Necessary Repairs

The Issue

I am a tenant who has been living in a house that requires urgent repairs for over a year. My landlord has failed to address these issues, and as a result, my daughter and I have fallen ill. Despite our health problems directly linked to the state of our home, we are still expected to pay rent every month. This situation is not only unfair but also detrimental to our wellbeing.

The fact I am now out of work due to being sick from the house because I am a bus driver and have had my licence suspended due to this I do not earn but I must still pay rent

We believe it's time for change. We call on lawmakers and housing authorities to enforce rules that protect tenants from such negligence by landlords. We demand that landlords be required by law to complete necessary repairs within a reasonable timeframe or provide rent waivers until they do so.

This is not just about one landlord or one tenant; it's about ensuring safe and healthy living conditions for all renters nationwide. Please sign this petition if you agree that no tenant should pay for substandard living conditions while waiting for necessary repairs.
