Landmark II Homeowners

i lived in lansdowne now for about 1.5 years and i'm one of the 34.5% of the population that rents were i live. i have an on going heating issue with my landlord that i'm still trying to get resolved i went to the lansdowne human relations and to the lansdowne ccode enforcement agencies the codes dept. did call the landlord twice for me to no avail in fact they told me after the landlord didn't respond to there calls that i needed to get a lawyer. for a town that only has a population of 11,000 which about 3,500are renters that's 1/3 of the population, well to get a lawyer it would have cost me 200.00 at the minimum. so I'm trying to get my problem resolved on my own and getting close to having it done and any information i inquire doing this i would love to pass it on to someone that's having a landlord issue i feel if the renters band together we will be able to solve these problems more quickly and at minimum cost or no cost at all, i,m appalled that a town where 34.50% of the voters are renters there isn't more help here against landlords that don't do what there obligated to do REMEMBER THERES POWER IN NUMBERS i would like to start a renters association here in lansdowne if anyone is interested please comment on this post thank you.
