You do not say where you are or what needs to be done, but in most places, you should:

1. Write a letter to the landlord describing in detail what the problem is and what needs to be done. Include photos! Send this letter via certified, return receipt requested.

2. If that gets no action, then call your local housing department and ask the city or town to inspect. If it results in violations, you landlord will have to repair what ever it is that is falling apart.

3. If you still get no action, you can perhaps start a court action. You should seek legal counsel first. Many cities have a housing court where you can initiate a case. But remember - document, document, document - that is key to winning your case or getting repairs from your landlord. Always pay rent on time....you don't want to give the landlord any reasons to take action against you.

4. If things are really bad, you can claim constructive eviction or a break in the "warranty of habitability" whereby the apartment is unlivable. You can certainly make a case that you had to move out due to terrible or unsanitary conditions.

Good luck.
