What are our options - sleezy landlord
We moved into a new rental three days ago. When we initially viewed the home we were shown all of the work they were doing to the place including removing carpets, painting. We were also told the plans to replace bathroom vanities, and repair the back deck which as rotting, have a landscaper remove the dying plants, have the house pressure washed, etc
Fast forward to move in.
They didn't do the construction work they said they would do. Replacing cabinets didn't happen. The old ones are 40+ years old and in such a state of disrepair and all we can smell is mold.
The house wasn't cleaned when we moved in. Construction dust everywhere, grime in the bathrooms and kitchen from whoever was here before. They did get a professional cleaner at our strong request, However it is so old it is not properly cleanable.
They ripped out the deck and didn't didn't replace it with anything. There is concrete rubble, broken wood and garbage, rusty metal over a portion of the back yard.
Essentially they didn't do anything. Do we have any recourse? I feel like we were lied to on the work they would do just to get a renter in there. We don't have money to move again. We also can't be breathing in mold spores for the next decade.
