If you haven't already, send Dodson this language and tell them your intent to file a tenant assertion within 30 days if your lack of running water isn't fixed. If you've already written to them (in writing, no phone calls or verbal discussions), this 30 day clock may have already started ticking.

If the time comes and goes and they still haven't fixed it, you can start paying your rent to the court through an escrow account until they do fix it, and you may be able to force them to pay any costs you've incurred as a result of their negligence. This will get their attention.

This is the nuclear option and I'd expect them to not be happy and more likely than not refuse to renew your lease, but it's an option.

No, I replied to the intended one, where you mention no one is taking you up on your offer.

Again, if you remove housing from the market for people to make their own, to offer on a temporary basis to make yourself feel better, you're not being as helpful as you think you are.

If legitimate and sincere, good for you. That is an offer not many would make.

That being said, if you're hoarding housing such that it allows you to offer it to online strangers at a whim, maybe you shouldn't be. You owning it for seemingly no reason is preventing others from making it their stable, permanent home.

Additionally, your 1 (one) singular house, and offer to stay thereof, flys in the face of the concept of a union or collective. Unless you own enough houses to allow for all the tenants of all Dodson properties to stay with you indefinitely until they find affordable housing with responsive and respectful ownership/management, your offer is probably not as helpful as you think it is.

I also think your opinion was not constructive, just so you know.
