Can you call an attorney. I believe that there are laws that force landlords to keep property liveable. A non working stove and a leaking propane tank would be considered problems that affect the liveability of the property IMHO. An attorney might do a contingincy based thing or be able to give you some advice on how to write a letter forcing the man to get the stuff fixed. I don't think he can force you to pay for a fill on the propane prior to fixing a leak. Why fill it while it is leaking.....won't it leak out? DUH! What an idiot.


Teach, I am so sorry you are facing this situation. Children can rip our hearts apart with what they do to themselves. No matter what you do I know it will be a painful decision. I do hope that ultimately you take care of yourself in all this as that is the only person you have any control over. Weight gain sucks......I pulled a pair of jeans out of the drawer yesterday and thought I had a pair of M's. I tried to put them on but barely could put on leg in......I still think they must be hers as I couldn't have worn that size since I was in high school.....lol She wears a size 5 and I wear nearly triple that.......ouch! But I am losing weight now that I am forcing myself to eat better and healthier. Now if I could just get off my b*tt and work out it would help even more. Probably help my mental health as well.

Take care everyone. Jenna, thinking of you and hope to see you back online soon.

People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice.

Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long
