Landlord-tenant laws are different in every state. In some, there would be money due to the renter, if verbal and written requests made to the landlord to repair the leaky septic [tank?] were ignored, and the renter wound up having to pay for the repairs himself/herself.
The renter then has the burden of proof (i.e., has to produce evidence such as photos of the leaky Plumbing, receipts for repairs done, including costs for parts and labor), production of eyewitnesses to the problem, and copies of letters to landlord, etc., if he/she plans to file a Small Claims lawsuit against the landlord to collect the money. If the renter wins in such a case, the court would allow him/her to include the court and process-of-service costs (postage and fees of delivery of court papers to the landlord by the Sheriff's Department, courier service or registered/certified mail), attorney costs, etc.
You can contact your local housing authority, or a landlord-tenant lawyer for advice on how to proceed for such a situation.

If renting before the By-Laws are changed to exclude renting of a Townhouse does the Grandfather Law allow you to continue renting after the initial renter has moved?
Grandfather clauses typically allow existing uses to continue even if they no longer comply with new regulations. So if the By-Laws change to exclude renting of a Townhouse, the existing rental arrangement could potentially be allowed to continue under the grandfather clause, even after the initial renter has moved out. It's important to review the specific wording and implications of the Grandfather Law in your particular situation.

If you are living in a property owned by another business or person, no.
