That really sucks. You sound like you have a terrible land lady. Is there a way to report her?

Landladys are supposed to be smart...

she was only trying to help out , you should have just done it yourself ! whiney ungrateful little bitch .

Sucks bro

ahhh so that's how you fix things, you just paint over them. I'll be right back, i've got to go paint my car. I'll make sure to add some cool racing stripes to make it go even faster than before.

Go ask her if you can fix her face, and before she replies start painting away. Hey, you are only following by example.

She sounds like my landlord, and I rent in Missouri too... hmmm. If we do have the same landlord, I'm very sorry for you because she's definitely a slum lord!

stop paying rent till it's fixed. keep the money set aside so you can pay it as soon as it is fixed though.

You didn't happen to take any photos of the damage before she painted over it did you? Either way if it's still leaking complain again and if she still doesn't fix things contact your housing or health department to come and inspect the premises. There might be even more problems you can't see due to the steady leak you have.

wtf, why does it smell like paint thinner....?
