The laws in Oklahoma.

Looks like he does not have to repair the leak unless it makes the house not safe to live in like sanitary etc.
Sounds like the leak is under the house.
He can give you an eviction notice but it must be based on non payment or you doing something to break the lease.

If you do make him serve you he can get a sheriff to evict you after so many days and you can only take what you can carry or what is on you at the time and all your other stuff is probably going to be taken/ lost.

He can also report you to the 3 credit bureaus and make your life suck and report you to "dead beat renters"
Makes it hard to rent again.

He sounds like a chump.
I like to have my rental houses in tip top shape and keep them like that.

What you have is a slum lord.

He wants you out so he can charge more for the rent would be my guess.

Time for you to buy your own place, if you can. I mean you have already dumped $30,000 into someone elses pocket.

Not putting you down or anything like that.

I hope everything works out for you but I would bail out if it were me.

i informed him of the leak in May and he's trying to say "i never called him".

we 100% spoke on the phone about it.

when he sent plumbers to replace a hot water heater (which i told him WAS NOT THE LEAK BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT WASN'T LEAKING LIKE 30K GALLONS) they asked ME about the leak when THEY noticed it.

there's no way he didn't know about this. there's no way the onus is on me after i informed him multiple times.

Something my buddy told me was a guy that would not pay his rent and cursed the landlord in his face in the front yard and egged him on to fight and called the landlord all kinds of things
to make the landlord snap and kick his arse right there in the front yard.

But get this the tenant had a camera in a window pointing in the front yard and captured the landlord
beating the snot out of the guy and even balled up on the ground the guy was still bad mouthing the landlord so landlord continues kicking him.

Tenant sued and ended up owning the house.
Tenant owned many housed pulling the same game.

Camera did not record sound.

Worth a try if you think he is the type to pummel you :)
