you should move if you arent happy living in their house. the rent they get from you is alot less than the value of the money the house should bring in in another investment.
it is their house and they decide how to care for it. but you as a renter are required to maintain it as well. each has its own responsibilities. you are not allowed to with hold rent to force repairs you feel should be made. they are requied to maintain it to livable conditions. you should require that. if the septic backs up you can call the city and get the place declared unhapitable until fixed. but not good for you. payback will get you sued or criminal action. good luck i know its frustrating.
