W\_L,
Do you have a copy of the lease that you could scan and post? (cover up all the actual names and addresses, but make sure I can still differentiate between all signed lesees)
Is the apartment leased between the 4 of you? You said there were 2 guys, the landlord, and yourself living there, right? Is this young guy, actually the lessor named on the lease, or are his parents?
I have been through this shit more times than I can count. My parents are slumlords, and I grew up dealing with tenants, and cleaning up apartment after apartment, when they'd skip town.
First off, let me just say that, after reveiwing the pictures, it isn't as bad as it could be, and legally, you don't have very good chances of getting a magistrate to take the complaint seriously. If anything, you or your parents(whoever signed the lease) could be held responsible for damages to the property, and loose the security deposit. Furthermore, if there were any children living at the residence, you could face serious "child endangerment" charges. Be glad it is just a bunch of stoners, and none of their illigitimate children live there.
As far as the shower is concerned, this is what a judge would say... (unless of course the lease outlines this. I really really really would like to see a copy of lease. I could find you a loop hole)
A judge would say that you are in no way obligated to install the shower, or help install it. Also, the judge would tell you that you signed the lease knowing that the residence only had 1 shower for all the occupants. Perhaps he or she would say, "why sign a lease to agree to live in conditions that you feel are inadequate?" Tough shit, there... On the bright side, you are not obligated to install any shower, and your state may or may not require all plumbing to be done by a liscensed plumber. If this is the case, as Chance said, you legally cannot install the shower, nor can this "landlord kid."
Like I said, I would really like to see a copy of the lease. I could deffinitely advise you better on this situation.
...some things that the landlord is not responsible for...
dirty dishes in the sink
trash laying around the place
messy carpeting(if previously cleaned or replaced before tenants move in)
These things are actually more a matter of personal hygiene, than of anything else.
...things the landlord IS responsible for...
black mold (couldn't tell if that was a picture of mold of the floor, or dirt)
uninstalled bath fixtures (if there is no shower/bathroom/commode facility available in the apartment, you can stay in a hotel, while repairs are being made, or new fixtures are being installed. Then, send the bill for the hotel to the landlord. legally, you can't rent out a dwelling that doesn't have plumbing/indoor toilet(this might be different from state to state)
Also, a quick suggestion for you to purchase renter's insurance, just incase things wind up missing or stolen, or one of you potheads burns the place to the ground.
I just can't believe that the "landlord" is a 20-something y/o student who actually lives in the place with you. That would be very awkward living arrangements, especially if he doesn't take care of the place any better than the rest of them.
how did the place look when you first moved in? Did you all move in together? Did you pay a security deposit?
In the end, you have to work out a formal living arrangment, with a cleaning schedule for all lessees to follow. Make it a contract, with a penalty, so that there is some incentive to get everyone to do their part in keeping the place clean.
You know, it took everything I had to keep from typing the obvious question, but here it goes... perhaps your room-mates need a lesson in housekeeping? -
First off, one night about 2 weeks ago I packed all my shit on at 2 in the morning and left. The dorks parents called me and I told them I skipped out because it was disgusting, unsafe, and I got my stuff stolen. I guess she majorly bitched on the kid because I get an apologetic voicemail and it sounded like he was crying because he kept pausing every 2-3 seconds. I replayed it for all my friends and we laughed at the star trek geeks expense.Lived at home for a week and now I have a new pimp-ass 2-bedroom loft all to myself. It's sweet. I can smoke and drink all I want here.There was no security deposit. He lived there first by himself, then at pressure of my parents to live in shared hosuing I called him up and moved in. I immediately regretted deciding to live with that weirdo. The two black guys moved in later, like 5 or 6 months apart. One of the black dudes I was semi-cool with but kinda didn't trust because he was shady. Anyways, when I moved out I told him he could call me sometime and he did and was telling me that the kid and his parents are trying to evict the disgusting slob who lays on the community couch 24/7 because it was obvious he made most of the filth that made me leave and I was the only tenant paying rent on time, full anmount.Oh yeah, I also stole the original copy of the lease from a filing cabinet I found it in and I shredded that shit so there was no real proof I lived there.

And I figured out how to steal wireless from the neighbors so I am able to grace you all with my presence again :smile:
-
Well.. in your own twisted way.. glad things are working better for you.
-
Yay, you're back.
-
I was worried!! Im so glad ur okay!
-
I realized I didn't want to kill myself anyways, that's too pussy, going out in a blaze of gunfire, Tony Montana style is a lot cooler. That's why I started selling drugs.
-
YAY! What a way to give back to the community...........
-
actually it's really helped my life
-
I am sure it might of helped your pocket book, but it's damaging your community.... though i know you're not one to care about that.
-
Im glad u had a change of heart:)

I don't make anyone do drugs who doesn't want to.And I don't push crack or any damaging dope so I'm not hurting anyone. I'm really a philanthropist in doing what I do. I help people get what they need to feel good and I sell a superior product. I care about my customers and wouldn't give them anything I wouldn't smoke.And I don't really fill my bank account doing it, at least not just yet. I just make enough profits to get myself free drugs. I'm not sure if I even want to be bigtime, too many of my friends who uses to make fat stacks always ended up getting robbed or having their houses shot up.I'm just kidding. I don't sell drugs. I've never even did drugs in my life before. I don't even know what a drug is or how to spell the word drug.

figured it out?it doesnt take and brains to do if a colse enough wireless connection is available.fof course I run a monitor on my wireless, when i find someone in it, I like to format the f disk for em, mother fuckers want to run on my account, they can help pay the fucking bill, of course they have to crack 2 firewalls to get into my system to begin with, since I put the firewalls in, noones been surfing my network

White...I believe you, your a clean man. I don't think that anyone can do such a poison. We are all drones on this site and try to take a blind eye to your behavior.
-
There signal is going through my walls into my property. If it's in my apartment bouncing all around then I can go ahead and utilize it. I didn't "figure out" how to do it, I know how to connect to a damn Wi-Fi network, I just didn't know anyone had a wireless setup here.
-
Take the signal from the satalite that is spying on you, then you will always have wireless.
