What are the laws of Mississippi for water in an apartment building? My landlord and I live in houses on a common courtyard acres, of which the water passes through a pump from a well. The water supply is low, and we have problems of low pressure. The owner began to be a little rough for all uses of water, even though he just bought a pool and filled our death although he has never swum in addition, we were asked not not use water at all between 23 pm and 4 am because it's hot when the system back. From what I can see, this violates the landlord responsible to provide running water at all times. My landlord is unhappy with me and make remarks about us asking to move, because my mother (and her boyfriend) are visiting for the next two months to help me because I am 36 weeks pregnant . They perform housework and others, and will be available to watch my 3 years old when I go to work. I have no other relatives who live near available. I had to fly from Arizona. We can not afford to have my husband on leave without pay for as much as I needed him.
So ... I have more people here that my landlord gave me specified, but they are temporary and I told him when they leave. However, the water situation is ridiculous. I'm more concerned about not being told to move now to make him solve the problem, but that is right? Or who would win in this conflict?
I live in Hinds County, and how our state constitution is in place, I think that would fall under the jurisdiction of the county. Your best bet is to search online resources for your county and start dialing the phone. If you live in an incorporated area, the Research Services of muncipality. You have rights as a tenant. You're not a farmer.
It must have water available work 24 / 7. If the current system can not do that, then he should legally repair. It is illegal for a tenant to be regularly out of the water like that.
Tread lightly, but because you are technically breaking the lease with the long-term guests. Most leases state no customers for more than x number of days in 1 month or 1 year period. A stay of 2 months is greater than what is allowed in most leases. He can legally evict you for that if he wanted to be discarded.
