    What has your LL done to repair the septic tank. LL must maintain property in a safe and habitable condition. No fuel and bad septic are neither. The state does not handle stuff like this but a local or county building dept or health department does. We can't tell what damage was done by the sewage but it is not likley the cause of an unsafe condition with a fuel tank. What did they say was unsafe about it? Where are you located?

    In Vermont you report the landlord to the County Health Department. Of course, if the building gets closed down you have nowhere to live, so start looking around immediately.

    The leaking oil tank might be a environmental problem - report that to your State's environment enforcement agency.

    Sounds awful!
