<prompt> Human: Me and my fiance have been in a rent house for almost two years now. This last 6 months the entire house started falling apart. Theres a leak in the kitchen that went on for months that got so bad, a support beam collapsed after the wood rotted and most of the kitchen ceiling fell. It has been patched recently but is still leaking. And leaks into my cupboard and I cant store my clean dishes anywhere anymore.There are 3 other small leaks around the house, mostly in the living room where I can see water bubbling up and the paint. The entire house is forming a musty scent thats unbearable and the land lady basically said she doesnt want to fix any of this till were out of here, and just suggested we break the lease. Thing is, I wasnt expecting this, and shes been charging us the full rent amount this entire time. I was planning on moving towns when my lease expired and we were not prepared for this scenario. Now we have to find a place to live in for 2 months, or sign a short 6 month lease somewhere and pay out the ass. The market where I live right now is awful. Samsung just recently built a new chemical plant here and brought in over 15,000 out of town workers. shacksone bedroom apartments that were going for 600 a month 2 years ago are now going for 2,000. I currently work from home running a small electronics repair operation and I also edit videos for artists. I went to school for computer science but currently live in a rural Texas town with no technology jobs which is why I was moving in Dec., to start my career basically I have no degree, but I have tons of skills and am confident I can find a high paying job where Im going. I dont make as much as my fiance who just graduated nursing school but weve mostly held it together this last 2 years while she was finishing off her contract with the local hospital. The worst part is, these past 6 months, Ive become increasingly ill. Im in the doctors office or ER once a month for asthma attacks or severe bronchitis. I havent been able to breathe through my nose for 6 months and I constantly have sinus infections. Ive never had asthma growing up, and I was only diagnosed with it for the first time 4 months ago. All of this is leading me to beleive the mold growing on the ceiling and around my AC vents probably goes back much further than we can see and is making me sicker and sicker as the months go by. To top this all off even more, our wedding is in November, luckily my fiances family is taking most of the financial burdens off of us to be nice, but they wont help us with our life struggles, which I dont blame them. Were at a complete loss. Today is my birthday, and I came out of the hospital for the 3rd time in the past two months this morning and am currently wheezing my ass off wondering how the hell this is all going to work out. Last night my doctor told me straight forward, hes probably going to keep seeing me on a monthly basis unless I get out of my house. What are my options? I cant find a decent place around here for under 1,500, when I signed my lease here it was for 975. Me and my fiance together bring in maybe 5,500 a month on a good month, and most of that goes to billsour animalscars and we usually have about 200-300 left over every month for general fun and groceries. Everywhere Ive looked so far atleast requires a 6 month lease and its really expensive. Living with parents is no longer an option. If anyone can take this scrambled mess of information and give me some ideas on what I could do about all this, please give it a shot. IDK what to do. This is my first house Ive ever rented and I dont know shit about housing laws. Also live in TXEdit: I called my land lady over to look at the new leaks and collapsing areas of the ceiling. I ended up getting into a screaming match with her and showed her all the images of issues with the house and explained to her I think the house is making me ill in full detail with medical records. She wrote me a check for 1000 to give my deposit back but refused to buy us a hotel room or fix the roof in a timely manner and told us we need to be out of here in 20 days.  <response>: OP, you should x-post in rlegaladvice. Odds are you have a constructive eviction on your hands, meaning you have the right to 1 stop payment of rent and 2 immediately move to a hotel. The landlady will likely be required to pay the full price of your hotel stay while you look for a new permanent residence you very likely will have to sue her for the money, but fuck her for screwing you over like this. The outcome depends on your local state laws but from what youve posted, it seems like a slam dunk. Id advise looking for a lawyer to sue for the hotel cost if it surpasses the small claims limit in your jurisdiction.Get out of that house!
