Land lord

My fiancé and I currently live in an apartment
We've been Here for 6 months and have been complaining about the main front door. We have buzzers to buzz people in but the lock doesn't secure to shut the door, and it's supposed to automatically slam behind you
Well it doesn't and they still haven't fixed the problem. It's a different story now that I'm pregnant and it's still our safety. We complained not once not twice and more than 3 times about it
Today when we left for dinner my fiancé locked the door. When we got home our door was unlocked, can I not pay rent until they fix it cause complaining obviously doesn't work...

You can go to the court house and file a complaint on him about this problem and they be will sure to take care of it. I had to do it when I first moved in as well. I would continue to pay rent though because if you stop.that can get you into.some.legal trouble. The only way you could stop paying rent is if you had a severe health issue like mold or your water being broken and he won't fix it. Atleast that's how its like in my state...I live in maryland.

I would look into laws although usually you can create a certain type of account and withhold from the landlord until the problem is solved although you have to go about it in a legal manner.

I'm a small girl and I can just push it open
It's supposed to automatically slam behind you and let no one in that's why we have buzzers in our house but I think they've become more of a decoration now lol!
