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?

It sounds to me like (assuming she's not lying) your partner is the problem. And if she's been dealing with your partner for 10 years, and he doesn't fix stuff for 3+ weeks regularly, she could have a reason to be testy. That all sounds like pretty basic, simple, non-emergency stuff, but if she's had this problem with your partner for 10 years, possible with more important fixes, maybe she's tired of it.
