Apartment was given without fridge installed. Can we withhold rent until it is?
Just moved to a new apartment and the realtor pushed for an 4/5 start date despite some final maintenance and we have a lease rider that specifies that “rent will not be charged until apartment is ready to move into”.
We started move in yesterday and there is still no fridge installed. And the bedroom door is missing.
Is a refrigerator generally considered a pre-requisite for move in? Is it defensible for us to ask for a pro-rated rent reduction till it’s put in?
Thank you!
