Your friend must prioritize. Are the hazards merely eyesores or will affect her health and safety? Will the LL fix health hazards, hazards making it impossible for her to live in her apartment should they arise? Or is she going to end up opening an escrow account and depositing her rent there while her LL attempts to evict her for nonpayment in lieu of fixing said problems?

We live in a terrible house (housemates and I) in a wonderful neighborhood. The house has been slowly falling apart over the years I've lived in it and the LL has no interest in maintaining, let alone upgrading it. It hasn't sunk to the level of health hazards per se, but I know what I have in an LL and am prepared to fight it out for the property, which COULD BE gorgeous and is in a very popular neighborhood...
