It depends on what it is. If it's something that makes the apartment unlivable, the landlord is responsible to make the repair. If you're looking for something that is considered cosmetic, then you can get permission from the landlord to do it yourself. Try to negotiate with him to pay part of the cost.
Of course! You are living in the apartment and therefore are obligated to pay to live there. Why would one think that the landlord would pay your rent?
In most states, you will not have to pay taxes on apartment rent. You simply pay the required monthly rent to your landlord and you will never have to record those amounts when you file your yearly taxes.
No, but check with the state authorities.
no. don't pay anything if you haven't signed anything saying you are going to pay (contract) it or a judge orders you to pay it.
If the air conditioner came with the apartment, then No, the tenant is not responsible. It is up to the Landlord to fix it. I know this because I am a landlord myself. If the Landlord refuses to do so, call a repairman, get it fixed, get a copy of the bill and deduct t from your rent...however make sure you let the landlord know that you will be doing this if he still refuses to fix it and again, make sure you give him a copy of the bill when you pay your rent.
Our apartment flooded monday night, landlord came today to take out carpet, the smell is so bad its unlivable and we wont get carpet till Tuesday, meanwhile my furniture is everywhere and I cant get to anything. Is landlord required to pay for a hotel room while repairs go on?
No.
Yes, if you did not make the repairs yourself and document the costs with an agreement with him, the landlord can evict you. Your local government does have offices that will help you with landlord/tenant issues--some repairs Must be made. However, many landlords do not ever make the repairs that are less serious.

It depends on the type of repair. If it was damage caused by the tenant the landlord may refuse to make repairs as long as they do not relate to safety.
Of course! You are living in the apartment and therefore are obligated to pay to live there. Why would one think that the landlord would pay your rent?
It is the tenants responsibility to pay for the repair as they are occupying the property and it istheirmain home. The landlord has nothing to do with it.
The bankruptcy has nothing to do with the landlord. If they pay the rent, they can stay; If they don't pay, they gotta go.
Generally speaking any time you stay in a dwelling in consideration for the amount of rent per month paid to the landlord, you are required to pay rent for it. In cases like this, where there is no is available electricity, the apartment is considered uninhabitable. If this is the case then the tenant should move out under the constructive eviction law of your state. However, you cannot stay in the dwelling and simply skip from paying the rent just because of the uninhabitable nature of the dwelling. If essential repairs must be made and the landlord does not make those repairs, then in most states the tenant has the right to have the repairs done and offset the rent by the amount the tenant had to pay for such repairs. However, there are procedures by which this is done. A notice must be given to the landlord at least seven days before the next rent is due before such repairs can be made and offset from the rent.
Yes, under certain circumstances.
This all depends on the laws of your state and the terms of the lease. The larger the apartment complex is, the likelier the landlord will have to pay for water, garbage, and sewer.
If you are living in the apartment then you should continue to pay the rent. Make certain to pay by by check so that you have proof of payment.
