2 rooms for rent for 500 each. I rent one of them recently found out the other room was rented out for 425. Is a landlord allowed to do that just to fill up space or should he decrease my rent too?

Interestingly, a landlord can rent out two identical rooms at different rates. First of all, no two rooms are exactly alike. Second, a landlord can charge whatever he can get. So, if he rents the first for $500, but then can't get a tenant for the second, he might be smart to list the other for $425, and if he gets someone, great.
Also, a landlord can offer an apartment (or room) to different people at different rates. So, if twin brothers apply, he can offer the apartment to Steve at $500, but to his brother Ed for $450. Maybe Steve is a heavy drinker, or has a dog. But, he doesn't need a reason for the different rates. The only prohibition is if he charges different rates based on ethnicity, religion, race, gender, union affiliation, or sexual orientation.
So, you might try to negotiate with the landlord, but, otherwise, your choice is to pay or leave.

As I understand it, the landlord is required to maintain it essentially in the condition it was in when you moved in. So if there were working appliances when you rented it, they are responsible for the maintenance. If you are asking is the landlord required to provide new stuff when you move in, no.
