I moved into my townhouse about a month ago. I tried using the AC over the weekend since it has got over 90 lately. The AC doesn't really work. It blows slightly cool air, and managed to cool the place only 3 degrees after being on high for over a day.
My gf went to the rental office today to have it looked at. Maintenance came over and said it was fine. I'm paying over $900 for the apartment, which is on the high end around here. So I expect things to work properly, and issues to be fixed.
So my question is, what do I do now? Do I have any recourse such as withholding part of the rent, or hiring a contractor to fix it, and then deduct the bill from my next rent payment?
Cliffs: AC doesn't work; landlord isn't fixing it; how do I proceed?
