I was out of town.
It rained really hard.
Dry wall in kitchen falls down, appears there was leaking.
I can see into the rafters, but not the sky.
Start to clean up mess.
Find dead animals mixed in with all the stuffing/ventilation/dirt.
Completely disgusting.
Notify landlord, comes by and looks at it.
Schedules a roofer to come by and look out it.
1 week later, nothing has been repaired. Dead animals still in my apartment.
Stay at my friend's house....
WTF...I can't believe they haven't done anything yet. How do I proceed? Should I have to pay the total amount of rent for the month?
Same thing happen to my boss decades ago. Dead birds mice roaches water bugs YECK Well I got the cleanup LL put on new roof. Boss paid rent as usual! Suck it up & Clean it up!

Thanks.,
Your name - are you surrounded by "Morans", or morons? Just curious.
Call your local health department. That's a violation against health codes. Then they take matters in thier own hands by contacting the LL and or local housing authorities.
I want to clarify that I am making no political statements one way or the other, merely providing context to the OP's ID.
To the OP: I would, as others have said, call the health department. I would also send a certified letter, return-receipt requested demanding that the LL clean the apartment properly by a certain date or you will take him to court. This is a habitability issue, and if you go through the courts you can perhaps withhold rent. Just make sure you do it legally -- look at the laws in your state, and/or call a local lawyer well versed in LL/tenant law.
You could repair and deduct, but you need to follow the proper steps to do so.
