for the past year i've been asking my landlord to fix the leaky sink in our kitchen. finally he came over to repair it after sending a note with our rent checks for the past 12 months. instead of repairing it, he sliced his hand open severely and my white kitchen was (literally-i have the photos) covered in blood. he then left my apartment for 60 minutes. i figured he went to the ER. No. he went to the hardware store and purchased the wrong knobs for our faucet. he barely placed them on and then left. i thought he'd come back when he got his hand checked out. nope. haven't seen him since.

now we have no cold water in our apartment. my upstairs neighbor doesn't have any, either. it trickles out the faucet when you crank the knobs all the way open. it's nearly impossible to shower because the water is scalding. this started when the landlord shut the water off to "fix" our leaky faucet. he does not answer my phone calls, nor does he return my upper-neighbor's calls, either. it's been since June 21. today is July 9. he and his wife do not acknowledge me in any way, shape, or form, and barely speak to my husband. we can never get anything fixed -- ever. to make matters worse, this building is for sale and we're convinced he doesn't care enough to come fix things that the tenants are complaining about because he's selling it.

who can i call or what can i do to make sure this is fixed ASAP? we can't keep living like this. we live in minneapolis, minnesota. hateyourguts@gmail.com
