Anyone ever use rent escrow?

[Allnatural]

I've been getting water in my apartment lately when it rains heavily. Not a total flood thankfully, just a small section of carpet in the bedroom that gets soaked. The AC condensers for the building sit outside my bedroom wall. The gutters above are falling apart, so the water collects on the ground and eventually spills in where the AC lines enter the building.

I told the managers about it a month ago, even walked one of the maintenance guys over to point out exactly what the problem was. Nothing's been done yet, so here I am with wet carpet again (storms rolled through tonight). I'm thinking of paying my rent into escrow until the problem is fixed. Anyone have any experience with this? Any tips?

First step is to put down what the problem that needs fixed in writing and give it to your landlord/manager. I'm not sure if this goes by state to state but if after 7 days if it doesn't get fixed you can move out or use rent escrow. Just remember to always do everything in writing.
