We need many more details to answer this question. You might be able to hold your rent but it depends on they type of rental and if you want to stay there. To get repairs done call 611 and get violations put on the house which can help push repairs. Anyway you look at this you can get a consultation from a lawyer who will review the details and help you come up with a plan.
