You really need to look at some of the problems we are having with the apartment .   That apartment never had any problems before . Are you sure the problem isn ’ t you ?   We spoke with you the first week we moved in about things that you promised to fix .   Where do you think you have problems ?   There is no hot water , the bedroom has a broken window , and there are rats in the kitchen .   You know , no one else who has been in that apartment has had a problem before .   You are obligated to maintain your building and my apartment .   I will fix these problems when I get around to it .   I will be withholding my rent check this Friday unless these problems are addressed immediately .   You can ’ t do that ! It ’ s illegal !
