hi,
i moved into an apartment nov 2nd and the owner's the maintence company has still not made repairs the bathroom needed. Before moving in i asked the realty company if the apt would be ready on the 1st or later in the week to allow them to come in and make the repairs. they said the repairs will be made and I'll be ready to move in on 11/1.
the repairs the bathroom needs are the tiles need to be grouted, the drain is the shower is rediculously slow, the fan is old and discolored and filled with dust etc etc. I've had trouble getting replies from the company on when they can come in and have read some bad reviews about them. they were set to come in on the 12th but had an "emergency" and werent able to get to my place. they first emailed me that they would come back this monday or tuesday to complete it but didnt show up.
So, my question is do I have any recourse with the rent money paid. half the month has gone by and the apt (bathroom) is still not repaired. Am i allowed to take money off the next month's rent because the apartment is still not ready.
what actions can i take?
thanks for the help
