Just wanted to add that if they fall under the urgent repairs category, you don’t need to wait 14 days. There doesn’t seem to be a set time period from what I can find, but urgent repairs must be responded to and repaired “immediately”. If the landlord ignores your request, you can pay for it yourself (if less than $2500), then bill them and they’ll have 1 week to pay you back. If you can’t afford that cost upfront, apparently you can contact consumer affairs, although I don’t actually know what they’ll do.
