So... I want some advice from you lawyer types out there.
I moved into this godforsaken slum of an apartment on August 1st and much to my chagrin, they had not done half of things that we discussed prior to lease signing. For example, cleaning. Or painting. Or exterminating.
I reminded my landlord on move-in night (via message because he doesn't answer and after the gas leak fiasco through which he also did not return my calls) that I had wanted the apartment cleaned and it obviously was not done. The kitchen and bathroom floors had visible dirt on them, the tub was *shudder* disgusting colors of yellow and black, and the cabinets had this icky brownish yellowish drippy stain all over them. The stove had cobwebs on it and was missing a handle (still is...), the refridgerator was on a tilt because the floor wasn't level, and there were MULTIPLE cases of wood rot, half of which I have fixed myself.
I have spent over $300 on paint, wood rot repair, and cleaning supplies for this shithole and they STILL have not come to fix a damn thing.
This morning, I woke up to a spider in my bed. Then, as I was immediately changing my sheets, I shook a blanket so it would lay flat on the bed and it caught a huuuuuge tangle of invisible cobwebs that were apparently draping across the ceiling from end to end. (Did I mention I'm aracnophobic??????? ) Since then, I've Raided the apartment (not the first time), ran head first into 4 spiderwebs, had a spider drop from the ceiling right next to me on the couch while watching TV, and on my way to the shower just now, I killed 8 spiders just in there!! And 3 more on the way out!!!
I'm going out of my mind and I need them to do something about it - STAT! What can I do? Can I withhold rent until they address my issues? Can I get out of this lease??
I NEED HELP!
