You can try forcing water through it with a garden hose. If that does not work you will need to replace it.

Can a renter put rent into escrow if landlord doesn't fix property?

Proper procedures must be followed according to state and/or local laws regarding this. In Florida you must give the landlord at least a seven-day notice of your intent to fix something that is vital to your living in the home before you can legally offset it from the rent. The repair must not be frivolous and must be of something, like the water heater, that is vital to the function of the home or would make the home uninhabitable if such repair is not made. This said, the landlord can still evict you for non-payment of rent. However you would likely win the case and can seek damages from the landlord of up to three month's rent abatement. Now, if the landlord does evict you in Florida, you can pay what would be the rent amount to the Clerk's Office instead of the Landlord so that you can request a final hearing before a judge or magistrate. If you paid out money to fix something vital in the house you can ask for an emergency hearing to determine rent amount, before you get your final hearing. Whatever the judge says is the amount you have to pay-- most likely it will be your rent minus your repair expense-- and you must pay it immediately in order to have a hearing. Your landlord will get that money, minus the court registry fee of about 14%-- a penalty that will make your landlord think twice about being greedy about the rent!


Is the tenant responsible to repair a broken ac unit?

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.

Can a tennet hold back the rent from the landlord if the upstairs tennents are too loud?

First of all the word is TENANT. Generally speaking, the answer is no. A landlord cannot control the behavior of his tenant. If the tenant is too loud you have the right to call the police and let them handle the situation. Generally speaking, you cannot withhold the rent from your landlord because of an annoying condition. If there are maintenance issues with your apartment such issue interferes with your essential living -- for example, your water heater goes out -- then, following your State's landlord and tenant law, you can follow the guidelines to remedy this situation. For example, in Florida, if your water heater goes out and you notify your landlord at least seven days before the rent is due, and the landlord does not fix the water heater, then you can have the water heater replaced yourself, then deducted from the rent.
