I'm not so sure about that. At my place, they send around notices telling people when they are going to change the AC filters, etc. That's not an emergency, but it's also not a question of asking. They tell us when they are going to do it and that's that. I don't have my lease in front of me, but I believe there is something in there about regular maintenance.

That's the notice. They don't have to ask, they simply have to post a notice.

That's what I figured.

I think that's fair. It's their property, after all, but providing notice gives residents time to reschedule their naked Wii tournaments, etc.

The OP does have a choice...He/She can wait till the slumlord goes to court to get an eviction order. That will give some "wiggle room" to find a place, and with a small child in the mix, the judge might give a little leeway.

You're right about the leeway - most evictions are stretched out to 6 months. But what the tenant may not know is that their credit will be ruined by the eviction.

So worse case if I can'tfind a place before the end of the month but find something before court date then what?

Then move...you may still have to go to court. Just make sure you offer the landlord the rent for the time you are still in his place. If he refuses the rent, keep the money in a separate account just in case he lies to the judge and tells him you didn't offer it.
