My landlord
lives next door and is my friend's mom. They are great people. He rescued me a few months ago when Mickey and Minnie took up residence. No one would believe this, but that mouse actually made eye contact with me and ran TOWARD me into my tiny bathroom with me! I let out a sound that TARZAN never made! I was on top of the sink, one shoe on, one shoe off, limped into the dining room holding one foot up to avoid touching any fur, etc. My landlord came up with his wife and then set traps. Sad, but true. They took me over to their house and made me a fuzzy navel, which I had already after the bathroom deal! I will tell them about the BAT soon!
There's a landlord involved here?
You have rights - if he is violating the rules and/or the law with respect to noise violations he either fixes the problem or moves. Check out the law in your state.
I'd call the landlord
Trying to fix it yourself is great, but what if you end up creating more of a mess and/or damage? If you own the home, you swear a lot and then do what needs to be done. You don't want to be liable for anything happening to a place that you don't own though.
This is why you have a landlord. Call him.
harsh landlord?
If my tenant fails to pay his rent, I cannot make my mortgage payment. Times are tough all around!
If I was landlord and OP did dish thing to me,I would

we called their landlord last summer about the noise
trash and the fact that they had gotten a dog, which they werent suposed to have. next thing you know the landlord becomes their friend and maked deals with them allowing them to keep their dog,.yes, a few of my other neighbors and I have decided that we are going to start calling the police on them. its the only way..Summer is just now getting here and its going to be getting crazy around here. I cant even try to sell my house with their trash....we are moving back to the country...needless to say
Try a drain snake or call the landlord. Also,
do not put more Drano down. I have a friend who is a plumber and they absolutely hate going in to work on a drain with Drano or the like in it. Very hazardous for them.
I would talk immediately to the landlord and complain
about the humidity, the mold/mildew and the musty smell.
A moldy apartment is actually characterized as 'not habitable', as mold and mildew are very harmful to health.
If your landlord does not make efforts to rectify this situation, I definitely think that you have good reasons to break your lease, especially since you are already getting sick.
First of all, I am sure that painting the walls is the landlord's duty.
Same with the carpet, the landlord has either to clean it or put a new one. It was also his duty to fix the stove and pay for it.
Regarding all the mess in his basement and all the leaks, which emerged after you signed the lease, the landlord is in the wrong, as he did not disclose it to you before you signed the lease.
You are definitely confronted with an dishonest landlord and as a former poster said, get a housing inspection which will prove that the home is 'uninhabitable.'
All this 'junk' in the basement is a perfect breeding and hiding place for roaches, rodents and other pests.
You can definitely get out of this lease and have the right to ask your deposit back.
I live in the south and my landlord told me NO SMOKING before she would rent to me...

As a landlord with rental property, tenants seem to "pay partial rent" or not pay at all sm
beginning around Nov or December (the holidays). Were they both laid off? Is there no income coming in? Even though I don't know the situation, I can guarantee you that the money was spent elsewhere and now they are paying the price. I'm sorry to have to say this.
My husband and I worked with a family on getting caught up and they were 2 months behind plus late fees (about 1,800) and it was right about this time last year. They had a great Christmas though!
I don't have an answer for you. I don't know if there is anyone who can help someone like your friend or my ex-tenants. Rent should be people's #1 priority and sadly, a lot of the times it just isn't.
