<div style='font: 10pt ; text-align: left; '>Hmmm, apparently the tenant/landlord agreement says I'm entitled to withhold rent. Which gets paid next on the first. How the hell is that supposed to help? I guess the expected thing to do is make the repairs myself and take them out of the rent, except that due to Christmas I can't afford it.</div>
