need advice landlord dont want to fix a water leak

[Filiberto Cortes]

need advice last month I noticed that  was a water leak on the main line on the yard so I called the city they came and said it was on my landlord side so he was responsible for fixing the leak . I told him he has to fix the leak . Everytime I call him he treat me to kick me out basically my lease expired already .I don't know what to do I want to move out but iam in the process to buy me a house so far I didn't find anything yet. Iam running out of options .Any advice from anybody  than you

I would file a motion with the Washington DC landlord tenant court claiming for a water cost refund from your landlord. Once your landlord is contacted by the court with a hearing date you will probably hear from him.

Filing the motion should protect you from being kicked out by the landlord but the reality is you should have moved out when he refused to fix the leak.
