Any home inspectors here? Advice needed.

I moved into a rental property in August. The rental co. is extremely difficult to deal with to say the least. I have several major issues that they don't want to address or fix. I need help.

Are these just pain in the butt issues, or straight-up code violations? If the former, you're probably just stuck, but the latter can often be solved via a certified letter saying "Either you fix this, or I'm opening an escrow at the county courthouse and you're not seeing my rent until it's repaired." Look here, specifically sections 4 and 7.

There are some code violations that have been addressed but they refuse to fix due to cost. There are alot of pain in the butt issues too. I would like to have an inspector come and let me know how serious are my complaints and if I can persue escrow.

No independent inspector is going to put themselves at risk doing that. Contact your county or city housing authority for an inspection.
