If my apartment complex fails to provide me living conditions such as no electricity, no air conditioning etc for the span of 4 months and I had to pay rent every month during that time, if I file a notice to terminate lease for non compliance and ask for a refund of those months due to failure to provide me my basic human rights and living conditions, will it work?
