I live in Seattle, Washington. I've been having problems with the landlords at my apartment complex. They are very slow to correct maintenance problems ... we've been living there for 5 months and they haven't fixed our cracked window or erratic heaters, it took a month for them to fix a broken toilet seat, and so on.

Do I have the right to partially withhold rent until they get these things fixed? They promise and promise, but never deliver (or are very very slow).
