June 15th was my move-in date, but because of unexpected maintenance work (previous renter was there for 5 yrs) - it was postponed a week.
I got the keys today and the only thing done is carpet - which is bubbled and done poorly. Still waiting for them to replace cracked windows, fix the holes in the walls, paint, etc.
I’ve taken it upon myself to deep clean, scrub the grout, replace socket covers (what are they called?), etc etc.
I paid half a month’s rent to move-in, but I’m putting in a lot of elbow grease and time. I paid my deposit/rent in full. Is it too crazy of me to ask for my half month payment to go towards July? I’m doing THEIR job, and won’t actually have appropriate living quarters until another week.
Thoughts?
Edit: I am a single mom with a 2 year old, or I wouldn’t care so much about broken windows and such.
