Here's my tale of woe: Paid August rent. First week of August, water heater breaks. Wiring problems, etc., not repaired completely until mid-September. Out of apartment the whole time.
As per State law, provided written summary of problem, said apt. uninhabitable. Did not pay September rent. Paid October rent. Landlord now wants most (21 days) rent for Sept. Claims I told repairman "it was no big deal" and therefore didn't rush to finish, etc.
He posted failure to pay notice on 10/10. I believe my only option is to put questioned amount in State escrow. a) Is this coorect? b) how do I do this?
