What can I do if the owner of the well I lease from does not make needed repairs timely?
Full Question:
I rent my well and sewer system, but every year the well goes out. It is almost impossible to get in touch with the owner of the well. I have a contract that says he is responsible for service and repair. It take's longer than a week before anything is done. What can I do?

Answer:
Answer depends on the terms of the contact. Look at what it says about the time table for repairs. Look at whether it refers to within a reasonable time, time is of the essence or something similar. Look to see if you have the right to repair and charge him if he does not repair within a reasonable time. If the problem is ongoing, you might ask for an amendment to the contract to address these issues.
