realty for many times. But they do not want to fix it. Now the water bill may
be $ 300. Can I refuse to pay the next month's rent untill they sovle the
problem? What will be the result? Will they sue me? I do not want to live that
apartment anymore.The landlord makes me really angry. | a***r

Usually, the lease should say, in a case when the landlord can not fix the
problem, and the problem is persistant, you have the right to break the lease
before the lease ending date without paying the early termination fee.
However, most apartment landlords require you give them certain time period

30 days (this number may not be accurate), saying he has to fix it or you'll
stop paying the rent.
there must be certain procedures you need to follow. you can't simply stop
paying the rent.
