Mobile home landlord tennent laws

I am hoping that you could help me in answering my question. I am renting a mobile home, and the air condition unit has gone out. I have a ten year old son who lives with me and the tempatures reach in the upper 90's with the air condition unit broke. I have contacted the landlord and she had said that she does not follow the OHIO REVISE CODE because they follow a different set of codes due to the fact that the ohio revised code is only for landlords that rent apartments. My question is, is it her responsibility to fix the central air, or is she right that she does not have to follow the ORC, and that mobile home landlords have different rules that they follow.


Thank you for you time.

You have a lease agreement with your landlord that proscribes what each of your responsibilities are. If you check it, I believe you will find that you cannot make any repairs without first notifying the landlord. The lease may or may not require the landlord to provide such a repair. There is a provision that, if the responsibility is not stated, it is the renter that may make such repairs upon notifying the landlord. This is sometimes called the fair use policy. Which essentially states that if you use it and you break it (intentionally or not), you fix it. A good landlord will fix it themselves if for no other reason than they want to rent it later and they don't want a bunch of junk to contend with. You might point that out to them.

Here is some language from the ORC that you may wish to share with your landlady:

All park operators must:
Maintain in good and safe working order and condition all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning fixtures and appliances located in common areas or rented homes.

mobile home or apartment they are both living quarters, and I would think she is responsible, I know in NC you are responsible for heat and air no matter what you rent out, sounds like a slumlord

the landlord is responsible, file a case in landlord tenant court to place your rent monies in escrow.

TELL YOUR LAND LOARD FIRST OF ALL SHE'S THE KIND OF PERSON THAT GIVES LAND(SLUM)LORDS THEIR NAMES,NO DISRESPECT TO YOU,BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT CODES SHE GO'S UNDER,SHE STILL HAS TO GO BY THE FAIR HOUSING LAWS,IF SHE DOESN 'T WANT TO HELP YOU STOP PAYING RENT,BUT YOU HAVE TO PUT THE MONEY IN A ESCROW ACCT.AT YOUR BANK AND WHEN SHE FIXES THE PROBLEM ,YOU'LL PAY THE RENT.OR YOU CAN CALL YOUR LOCAL TV STATION AND THE'LL MORE THAN LIKEL'Y BE GLAD TO PUT HER ON TV. PEOPLE LIKE THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE TO LIVE IN THE CONDITIONS THEY EXSPECT THEIR TENNETS TO LIVE IN,THAT WOULD CHANGE ALOT OF THINGS.SORRY I'M NOT THERE TO GIVE YOU A HAND W/THIS THOSE PEOPLE REALLY BURN MY BU!!
