Well, the landlord came in today to work on a few things before the inspectors come. IT turns out that why the fixtures were not working is becasue some connectors were dirty, so now the majority of the fixtures (totaling 13, I was wrong about saying there were 8 earlier) are in working order. Two or three were not repairable, so they were removed with a plastic cover to hide the hole. He also fixed an additional outlet that was not working.
So, all this was a hassle, but I feel much better about the safety of this place. I wish he would've checked these beforehand, but late is better than never.
I'm still getting insurance once the week begins, however, and keeping a journal of happenings here is a good idea.
Thanks for taking the time to respond to this, everyone.
