[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's county level not state level in MD. Here it is for MoCo: http://montgomerycountymd.gov/DHCA/housing/landlordtenant/complaint.html

I think they would seek not to kick people out (only if the property is condemned.. unlikely) if the landlord can rectify the situation in a reasonable time.

On top of that, I assume they really won't kick someone out if it's cold outside. I know they aren't allowed to evict in MoCo when the temp is below a certain number (I'm a landlord and had to evict once).[/quote]OP here and thanks for responding. I'm not trying to get the landlord in trouble but h/she claims that they can do nothing about the situation because they are afraid that the upstairs people will try to sue if asked to leave before the lease is up. I am planning to move once I find a workable solution but that may take time and I am worried about the low temperatures as well as all the people involved. If I threaten to discount the rent everyday the heat is below 68 degrees can my landlord move to evict me?[/quote]

the landlord will not evict you because the situation is illegal.  He probably won't take you to court because it will be revealed that it is an illegal housing situation.  So, you could stay there without paying and the landlord could technically not do a thing to you...unless he/she is willing to get the county involved and shut down his rental.[/quote]
