Help with a bad landlord and unprofessional apartment manager?

Okay. Here is my problem. The landlord at our apartment complex is basically a slumlord. There are holes in the walls, no doorknobs on doors, no covers on outlets, wires coming from the ceiling, outrageous prices, stairwell and hallway are filthy, broken and falling ceiling tiles, landlord stores drugs upstairs, apartment managers are known drug users/dealers, mold in door frames, no ventilation, no sprinklers or smoke detectors, bricks falling off the building, appliances are old, and were filthy when we moved in, apartment wasn't cleaned before we moved in, dirty stained floors and carpets, broken drawers and cabinets, previous tenants belongings were left in apartment when we moved in, dirty litter boxes and cat feces were in the kitchen, food from previous tenants was still in the kitchen, etc. The apartment manager is harassing me online, calling me names... she is unprofessional... If someone is late on rent here, they give them 2 days to get out, and after the first day shut the electricity off, even if they are elderly, disabled, or have children. The apartment manager is only 18 years old and drinks constantly. She and her boyfriend, the ';maintenance guy'; have admitted to doing drugs IN THIS building, with the landlord. If she knocks on someone's door, for ANY reason at all, and no one answers, she uses the key and goes in. Once I saw her and her boyfriend walk into someone's apartment, and they had just gotten out of the shower and were wearing only a towel. The tenant was obviously embarrassed. The list goes on and on, but you get the idea. I am wondering if I have grounds for reporting these people, and if so, how do I do that? Also, how long do they have to give us, if they kick us out? We live in Indiana. There are no leases in this apartment complex. Tenants can pay weekly, or monthly. Also, if the landlord finds out your job pays weekly, he revokes your option to pay monthly, and forces you to pay weekly, which costs $50 more a month total. All we have with these people is a verbal contract. Are they allowed to give someone 2 days to get out? Are they allowed to shut off the electric? I would also like to add that I am disabled, and I am pretty sure there are laws protecting me from having the electricity shut off.Help with a bad landlord and unprofessional apartment manager?
I am just being honest here, this is how it is.





You moved into the ghetto, for whatever reason. This is typical ghetto housing. You could see the condition when you moved in, there was no reason to believe it would change.





Your only real option is to move out.





I know the others are quoting RE law, which is correct, but in the real world does not apply here.





In the real world cities know that not everyone can afford or wants average housing. The criminals, drug addicts, etc, all need a place to live. A place like this is better then having them living on the streets. Because this kind of housing is needed in society, very cheap housing for people no one else will rent to, the city will not do anything. They will not close the place down and give all of those people no where to go.





The police will not interfere, as you have already seen. If you are unhappy there your only real option is to move to a place that meets your standards. No one is making you stay there, the landlord is not going to pitch a fit and sue you if you move out.Help with a bad landlord and unprofessional apartment manager?
...and you took the place because?????





...and you live there because?????








If it is so awful and you have no formal agreement why don't you just move on?
The landlord cannot give you only 2 days to get out, or shut off electricity. They would actually have to go through the courts to have someone evicted.





Having said that, why on earth with all the horrible things you have listed would you move there? I am always surprised how people will move into a dump and then complain it's a dump. LOL





Complain to the county if you want to get him in trouble. If you see drug sales going down, call the cops.





Just expect to find a new place to live if you report anything. Because either the place will be shut down for too many code violations or the landlord will get rid of you for telling on them.
