Howdy all,

I've got a problem and I need some advice on what to do.

The fiancé and I were to move into a basement apartment starting February first.

We got the keys for the place and when we went to look it over we noticed some serious problems.

The previous tenant left the place in quite the sorry state. The walls had many holes from picture frames and mounted shelves. The shower in the bathroom was moldy and was leaking water causing the drywall around it to bubble and peel paint. The laundry room looked as if it had flooded at some point as you could see water damage and the start of mold.

The fiancé and are are upset to say the least. We were looking forward to moving into a place together before we got married later this month.

At this point the repairs look like a good month of work and we don't want to wait around until it's done. We would rather just leave and not put up with this.

As renters are we entitled to get any of our money back?
