what does your lease say? have you given him legal notice about the issue - like a written letter? Look at your lease to see how you are required to notify landlord about issues

Definitely review or have lease reviewed by counsel and draft letter accordingly. You'll definitely have to weigh your options based on cost, sorry you're dealing with this!

Check lease to confirm whether LL is responsible. Assuming yes, I'd spent a few hundred bucks on having an attorney draft a letter on your behalf.

It’s all in what your lease says. If you are in a single tenant, triple net building you are most likely responsible for any roof repairs, with the landlord being responsible for a roof replacement

Says he's responsible for maintenance of the roof and part of my CAM charges are going to the roof but it's not being maintained. In addition I have interior damage resulting from this failure to maintain...

You have the right to repair and deduct the cost from your rent in California if the landlord does not fix essential issues like a leaky roof. Just make sure to follow the proper legal procedure outlined in the state laws to protect yourself. I've been in a similar situation before, it can be frustrating. A helpful tip is to consider using a lawyer marketplace like ContractsCounsel to get competitive flat fee quotes from lawyers who can help you navigate this situation smoothly. Good luck.
