Moving into an unfinished apartment? Refuse pro-rate rent

Postby SamSpade » Thu Aug 05, 2010 3:48 pm

My landlord said the painting would be done by Saturday the 31st of July so I could move in on my lease start date the 1st of August. Painting, though started the 31st, wasn't done until Tuesday the 3rd of August. It was then discovered that the drain on the shower didn't work and the landlord was informed. It is now the afternoon of Thursday the 5th and it has not yet been fixed. The landlord already said he would not pro-rate the rent even though I haven't been able to move in yet. I feel like he broke the contract by no delivering the apartment on time. Anyone have any ideas? Any lawyers out there?
