You probably have a case for rent escrow. Rent escrow allows you to pay rent into the District Court's escrow account instead of to your landlord. Your landlord will not receive the rent until they can fix the issue. I have written in much more detail on rent escrow in Maryland at the following link: https://tpf.legal/rent-escrow
