Please Note: The WHRP is not an emergency repair program. In all cases, eligibility for WHRP and/or submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance into the program. Acceptance into the program is contingent upon availability of funds. Prioritized households accepted into the program will receive repairs pending the availability of construction firms and access to construction supplies.
If you have emergencies with basic home systems, the Basic Systems Repair Program (BSRP) could help. BSRP is funded by the Division of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). It provides free repairs to eligible owner-occupied homes in Philadelphia. They work on:
Contact the Landlord and Start a Paper Trail. Be sure to tell the landlord as soon as there is a problem. Some repair issues will get worse if not fixed right away, and the tenant may be considered responsible. Give the landlord the list of the needed repairs and a reasonable time limit to do the work. (This should be based on how urgent the issue is to you and how long it might take to repair.) If you speak in person or on the phone, be sure to follow up right away with a letter, e-mail, or text saying what you talked about and keep copies of everything.
Get Serious. If your landlord does not contact you or make repairs quickly enough, write a letter, text or e-mail with a new deadline, and tell them you will take further action (see below) if they don't meet it. Be sure to keep a copy for yourself!
NOTE: Don't Ignore Emergencies! For some urgent problems, such as no heat or a broken lock on the main door, you might choose to contact Building Inspection immediately, and not go through the steps of writing letters if the landlord is not responding to initial phone calls. If you smell gas, leave the house immediately and then call your utility company!
Call the Building Inspector. If the landlord still won't make the necessary repairs, call your local Building Inspector. Building Inspection can order the landlord to fix certain problems, such as lack of heat or hot water, a pest infestation, water damage, mold, but not cosmetic things such as faded paint or stained carpeting. The Building Inspector will order the landlord to make the repairs by a deadline and will come back to see that the repairs are complete. See our list of Local Building Inspectors (below) in order to contact your building inspector.
If you live in an area that has no building inspector and if there are major safety hazards in your apartment, such as faulty wiring or a pest infestation, you can try calling a fire department, public health inspector, or the Department of Safety and Professional Services. Sometimes they are able to visit a home that is in need of repairs and sometimes they are able to persuade the landlord to take more significant action.
Rent abatement is a partial rent credit when the landlord won't fix an issue that "materially affects the health or safety of the tenant" or "substantially affects the use or occupancy" of the unit. Wis. Stat. 704.07(3)(a), 2017 Wis. Act 317, Secs. 37 & 38, Effective 4/18/18. It pays you back for the amount of time you couldn't fully use the apartment. (The State of Wisconsin does not have a formal rent abatement process. For Kenosha, Milwaukee, and Wausau, click here.) Rent abatement is allowed under Wisconsin law, but when and how much a tenant can abate their rent is unclear. Wis. Stat. 704.07(4)
NOTE: For the reasons above, abating your own rent puts you at risk for eviction for nonpayment of rent, especially if there is another recommended method. If you live in Kenosha, Milwaukee, or Wausau, click here for your local rent abatement procedures.
Here are some way to improve your chances of successfully abating your rent if the building inspector orders repairs and the landlord does not complete them by the deadline, or if your area is not served by a building inspector:
Not paying your rent to pressure a landlord into making repairs is extremely risky. You could be evicted for nonpayment of rent unless you can prove to the court that withholding your rent was justified. Because tenant-landlord laws do not authorize tenants to do this, it is never certain that the court will decide in the tenant's favor; instead, the tenant may be evicted. For important information about the eviction process, click here. If nothing else works, here are four ways to improve your chances of successfully withholding rent:
Constructive eviction is what tenants may do on very rare occasions when repairs are needed so badly that the rental unit becomes uninhabitable. More information on constructive eviction is available here. To be successful:
Fires and floods are good examples of conditions that may cause someone to constructively evict. Wis. Stat. 704.07(4) Tenants would do this in only the most extreme repair situations, and it involves risk on the part of the tenant. If a tenant can successfully claim constructive eviction, they are no longer responsible under the rental agreement for unpaid rent after they move out and can get back any prepaid rent. If a tenant tries to claim constructive eviction but is not successful, the tenant may be liable for rent to the end of the rental agreement, plus any legal fees; however, the landlord will have to mitigate their damages.
To improve your chances of successfully claiming constructive eviction, carefully document the repair problems, your requests to the landlord, and the overall condition of the rental unit. Send your landlord notice in writing that you are leaving because the rental unit has become uninhabitable. Keep track of all the expenses you must pay because you had to leave (motels, eating out, etc.). Even if a court eventually decides that you were not constructively evicted by the repair issue, the landlord still has a duty to try to find a new tenant for your old rental unit (just like if you had broken your lease).
Under state statute, a tenant cannot go to court and ask for permission to constructively evict, instead it is used as a defense if the tenant moves, and the landlord sues the tenant for unpaid rent. This is why it is extremely important to document all the actions you take if you are going to constructively evict yourself from the apartment.
Call Consumer Protection. Consumer Protection laws require landlords to follow through on repair promises. If your landlord made a written or verbal promise to make a repair but has not followed through, you may file a complaint with Consumer Protection by calling
(800) 422-7128. If the landlord never made the promise in writing, then you should send the agency copies of your letters to the landlord and mention the landlord's verbal promise. Your letters may be good evidence, especially if the landlord never wrote back to deny the promise was made. For more information on how to get things in writing from your landlord, visit our Get It In Writing page. ATCP 134.07
A landlord must give the tenant a 12-hour notice before entering to make a repair unless it is an emergency (like a pipe bursting). You can agree to let your landlord enter sooner than that to make the repairs more quickly, but the landlord still needs to give proper notice the next time. In some cases, tenants may have signed a NONSTANDARD RENTAL PROVISION that lets the landlord enter with less notice. Check your lease for any such clauses. For more information, see Landlord Entry.
