My building elevator keeps breaking down every 3 days? Do i have a law suit because the land lord not fix it?

Alvaro R asked:


Ok i am getting tired of my elevator keep breaking down every 3 days and when people get stuck i am the only one who have to call 911 for help even though i live in a 20 story high building.

However my family are all asthmatics and we live on the13 floor complaining about the elevator every week the land lord takes a week to fix it every time it breaks down.

My whole entire family was hospitalized after they were forced to climb 13 flights of stairs to get to their homes however my family is unqualified for insurance for unknown reason no matter how much they try to get insurance they dont get paid much when they work.

Our medical bills put together was 2 million dollars because each of us had to stayed in the hospital for a month because or our asthma was severe.

We talked about not paying rent since every 3 days the elevator keep breaking down and it takes a week to fix it.

there 7 of us in the family who whose asthmatic do i have a case?

    I would guess not because you still have access to your home. Unless there is a clause in your lease stating that the elevator has to be in working order because of the health problems your family suffers. Contact the housing authority and find out your local ordinances.
