Take into consideration that we are a 2 man operation, with no employees.
When I cannot personally get to something, it can sometimes take a few weeks to get our handy man guy to show up for non emergencies .
Here is her list this month ( she always has a list )
1) cracking plaster on the wall next to the stairway heading upstairs
2 ). 2 ceiling tiles are stained , we had a leaky bathtub drain last month , ( which I fixed johnny on the spot
3). dripping faucet in bathroom .
She says she told my partner 3 weeks ago. I first heard about it last Tuesday, I bought the supplies, and dropped them off last Thursday, and and we are repairing tomorrow .
She is withholding rent till we make repairs . She has pulled this stunt with my partner for 10 years.
This don't fly with me. Im not being strong armed by a tenant . I do as good as I can with repairs , and always keep the lines of communication open, I think Im good.
What says you fellows ? Are these wait times acceptable?

Those 3 items have nothing to do do with the livability or rent. Send her written notice rent is late. If lease allows late fees, include that in notice.
