In any situation, if there are code violations, the tenant needs to notify the landlord, and give him an opportunity to correct. Some municipalities require that a landlord get a Certificate of Occupancy from them before renting - check with your local building or health inspector. But, that is an issue between the town and the landlord, not usually the tenant.

Are you legally entitled to a refund of your rent if you rented an illegal apartment?
That depends on what you mean by illegal, and what state the property is in. Many states have an 'Implied Warranty of Habitability', which means that if there are code violations in the unit, it is technically 'illegal'. Some people use 'illegal' to mean a unit which the landlord never got a permit for. If lack of a permit is the only problem, and everything is fine in the unit, a judge might not order any rent refunded (abated). If there are serious code violations, a judge can order an abatement, depending on the severity and duration of the violations.

The tenant owes the rent to the landlord up the day of a foreclosure sale.
