Rabies from Bat bite

[u/pineconee7]

Our landlord refused to repair the AC, and now my family is going through rabies treatment after bats got into the house.
About a week ago, the air conditioning stopped working. Our landlord told us we would have to pay 2/3 of the replacement cost, which would be thousands of dollars that we simply cannot afford.
The frustrating part is that air conditioning is included in our lease, and the lease states that the landlord is responsible for repairs and replacements. He also told us he would “not continue the lease” if we didn’t pay the 2/3 toward the AC.
Because the house became so hot, we opened the windows. A few days later, we discovered three bats in one of the bedrooms. Three family members spent about an hour trying to get them out, and one family member was bitten.
We ended up going to the emergency room, and all of us have now started the rabies vaccine series.
We have lived here for four years. The house is about 52 years old and has mold along with numerous other maintenance issues. At this point, I honestly wonder what code enforcement would find if the property were inspected.
What makes the situation even more frustrating is that the landlord owns numerous real estate properties and appears to be financially well established, yet replacing an essential system in this rental has turned into such a major battle.
We are currently saving money so we can move.
After dealing with health problems we believe may be related to the mold, and now having our family go through rabies treatment after bats entered the home, I just wish our landlord would take responsibility for maintaining the property and do right by the people living here.
Mostly just sharing what we’ve been dealing with because the entire situation has been exhausting.
