The New Orleans Saints Parade will be one of the most memorable for the city, her team and supporters; the big Super Bowl win comes 5 years after the city was hit by Hurricane Katrina and left the Saints without a home ground for all of 2005 – nonetheless, the stadium was rebuilt as was [...]

My boyfriend signed a 12 month lease for this rat trap apartment we live in. It started out that our apartment was okay until winter rolled around. Since then our hot water and heat go out constantly, usually for some reason on the weekends although now it’s all the time. Maintenance is not in on weekends and neither is the apartment managers. No one is in after 5pm and they don’t get in sometimes until 11am. We’ve had our heat and hot water go out on Friday after 5pm, and not gotten it restored until Monday at 5pm. My boyfriend and I are completely fed up. We both work second shift, so it’s hard for us to wait around for maintenance and we don’t trust them in our apartment alone. This isn’t something that occurs once in a while. Either one of these things or even both go out constantly. Something is always screwing up in this apartment. The drains are constantly clogged, the doors stick, the faucets leak, there are cracks in all of the walls since winter has set in, and the windows leak air even with weather stripping just to name a few. We have to go to the office on a daily basis. My boyfriend and I are just fed up. I feel as though they are in violation of the lease and want to move. My boyfriend is afraid to break the lease however as it is not up until May. Is there anyone we can report the apartment to? Is there any way to break the lease? Are they technically in violation of the lease even though they “fix” the stuff temporarily? We just had the hot water restored Monday evening and it’s out again this morning. By the way, it’s currently 54 degrees in the apartment and I just had to take an ice cold shower. This happens now all of the time. Help!
PS- We ALWAYS pay our rent early or on time. We’ve NEVER been late. We’re clean tenants too! Thought it was worth mentioning.
