What does that mean when you have a landlord and they never want to do anything with the house?

What do you mean "never want to do anything?" I don't know about other countries, but in all of the United States landlords are required to keep rental property in repair and provide basic services -- running hot & cold water, heating, toilets, plus everything else provided with the rental.

ROFL, it means you have a slumlord not a landlord. Vito Corleone came up with a solution.

If they’re neglecting your requests for necessary repairs, then I would contact the city and let them know that your landlord is neglecting their property illegally.

Report them to the city health department. If there are code violations. They can't ignore the city.

It means that they are an absentee landlord and only cares about collecting the rent
