For 4 months I have been telling my landlord that my bathroom ceiling was leaking; he laughed it off or he would say I'm busy or I don't have time. 

 

My six-year-old daughter went in to the bathroom. I heard her scream. The roof came down on her. When I told the landlord he laughed, said it was just plaster. He said if I keep it quiet he would give me 1500, but I would have to move. I told him no so he gave me a 60 day notice.

 

My daughter is terrified of using the bathroom; she has accidents, pees on herself. I have a 1yr and 3yr old and I'm about to be homeless.
