What are my options if my landlord has failed to perform maintenance?

Background info is that I've lived here for 10 months and he has never given me an address to mail payments. He visits 2 weeks before rent is due (knowing I wouldn't have it) and then comes around a week after it's due so that I have to pay him a late fee *he also never answers the phone within the few days of the 5th*.



Since july I have been asking him to fix my shower spicket, sink handle to the cold water, mice, cabinet door and water leak from upstairs.



This place was wonderful when I moved in, now it's a trash hole. My roommate and I have not caused these problems and we're so frustrated. What do I do?
