We had a horrible landlord at our last place. The place was filthy when we moved in, I had to clean it before I could put anything in the house, it looked like people used the carpet for toilet paper, there was a broken lock on the door, a beehive the size of a basketball in the backyard and among the crap i found in the house, food, a used band aid, toys in the back yard, pictures of the kids that used to live there... apparently the last person needed to leave in a hurry. In fact, later on I started to get to know her collectors pretty well and even met her repo man.
Anyway, this man would do nothing, he was the worst landlord we'd ever seen. We put in a complaint to the better business bureau, we looked up the owner of the property and sent them a letter (landlord was not the owner) and got the **** out of there as soon as we could.
Good luck to you, I definitely suggest you look up the owner, usually can do that at city hall and put in a complaint. There are also online places where people can rate places they've rented. The one I found is
