Most rental agreements include statements that would imply it is your grandmother's responsibility to provide maintenance when required. Perhaps you need to come up with a list of all the maintenance work Ed has done around the place and turn it into a bill. Present her with that bill when she asks you to sign the new lease. Let her know that when she pays your bill, in 30 days, you will sign the new lease. Make sure that Ed is paid handsomely for his work.
You might also have some rights in regard to the roof leak. It might be possible for you to withhold rent payments until the roof is fixed.
I hate to admit this part of my personality, but, I agree with Randi. I have always wanted to visit Rhode Island, especially now to get away from this blistering heat. All you need to do is provide the address of your grandmonster and . . . . well, just use your imagination!!
