You're calling a system broken wherein you actually have to take action and be responsible for taking that action. You basically are saying that the system is broken because you have to use it.

I'd agree with you if the system was broken where in you had no ability to take the landlord to court. That is a broken system, but here you've outlined a system that compels some sort of relief. It may not be immediate, it may not be instant, it may not be simple. But you do have recourse.
