Hi, I've an ongoing problem with my apartment. Chinese New Year I had a terrible leak, it was something to do with the water tank on my roof and my toilet. To solve it the water was turned off and since then I have not had any water in my toilet (have to fill up the system using the shower). The landlord was truly awful in dealing with this he ignored phone calls and there are still problems (and with the heavy rain recently the leak is still persiting in my kitchen so I cannot cook in my apartment).
In short I am looking elsewhere to live, however, my rental agreement does not run out for a while. I have witheld rent (I informed landlord that I was doing this until problems are fixed) so if I leave now I am happy for him to keep my deposit. But I am breaking a contract so how likely is it that he will chase me for the rest of the rent owed for future months?
Any advice/experience in this would be greatly appreciated.
