Minor code violations/tenant not paying rent

[Voula Dikeakos]

I have a tenant that is angry because terminated his month to month lease. I gave 3 months notice. He has called the code inspectors and suddenly they are finding minor violations.

-1 set of exposed wires in basement

-1 loose ceiling tile

-a fixture on the ceiling that is loose

- a sink In the basement that is too close to the electrical panel

He has not paid rent and I have begun process of eviction. The code inspector stated that I still need to have the violations corrected or he will send me a summons to appear in court.

What am I obligated to correct if this tenant is not paying rent?

Thanks!

@Voula Dikeakos you are obligated to fix them all specially since they already gave you notice.

I understand it’s frustrating that the tenant is not paying and are being difficult to get out.

Keep in mind that even once you evicted this tenant and not longer in the property code enforcement will not leave you alone until is fixed save yourself some legal problems down the road and get it fixed.
