[quote=Anonymous]I was in a similar situation in the past (in DC). I called the tenant rights hotline. Basically, what you can do is: 1) get out of the lease, full stop. Contract is now void. Moving costs are on you, new housing is on you (renters insurance should cover it). 2) stay but request a rent reduction for the lost sq footage 3) move out temporarily but agree that you will not pay rent during the repair process OR the landlord puts you up in comparable accommodations. I went with option 3. My landlord’s insurance did not cover my accommodations but my renters insurance did. Based on your description of the problem and how your landlord is acting, I would go with 1 or 3.[/quote]
