Take legal action, your landlord is legally entitled to fix your apartment since its HER property, you are simply renting it not the actual owner. She either fixes it or you can take legal action and have a court force him/her to do it.Go to court and sue.

Send your landlord a certified letter advising her of the problem and requesting immediate repair. Put in the letter she has 10 days to respond appropriately, and that after that you can & will exercise your right to call out a roofer, and take his charges out of next month's rent. It will cost out of your pocket but that's cash the landlord will not be getting.... it will be in the roofer's pocket.

See if your city has a housing department, a code enforcement department or a landlord -tenant go between and talk to them. Otherwise find a lawyer that specializes in tenant problems. I think though I am not a lawyer that after you notify your land lord in writing you can hire a professional to fix the roof and deduct it from the rent.
