My sister is renting a house in Missouri the central heat and air worked for the first day then quit also the stove does not work properly and will stay on till un pluged from the wall and the back door will not lock been a month now and the landlord still hasent got to it just says they are on a wating list what can she do?

Hello s:

She can DEMAND the landlord fix her heat and AC within 48 hours or she'll move into a hotel and charge him. She should do this in a certified letter sent return receipt requested. She should quote the uniform "warranty of habitability".

If he DOESN'T comply, she should MOVE and LOOK for another place to live. The landlord breeched her lease, and who would want to live there anyway? Yes, she's going to have to sue him to get her deposit back.
