Write him a letter stating that you will withhold the rent until repairs are made. Then, go to a bank and open a new account, and leave the rent money in it.

Must a tenant supply the landlord with a key to their apartment?
I meet a lot of landlords who think they should have a key. I don't know why they need one. The landlord should never be entering the unit without the tenant's permission, and, preferably, with the tenant there. Some say that they should have a key in case of an emergency. But, if there is a fire, you should be calling 911. If there is a flood, like from a broken pipe, I would still call 911. I know of no law that entitles a landlord to a key.AnswerCall 911 and wait for the police to respond if the toilet is overflowing in the apartment above you and the occupant isn't home? You've got to be kidding!Seriously, in some jurisdictions the landlord is required by law to have a key to rented premises for emergency purposes. In some jurisdictions, the landlord is entitled to have a key to any door that can be locked. Some rental agreements cover that issue in the agreement. In some areas the landlord keeps the key in a sealed container so the apartment owner can check periodically and verify the key hasn't been used without their knowledge. You should contact a landlord/tenant agency in your area to determine the local rules and laws.There are certain general rules that restrict a landlord from entering your rented dwelling:(a) It's okay if you are home and allow them to enter;(b) They can enter if there is an emergency and they need to enter to resolve that emergency; or(c) They give you at least 24 hours' written notice when there is no emergency.

If your apartment provides utilities and the air conditioning system keeps malfunctioning can you deduct money from your rent?
It's not a matter of whether they provide utilities, so let's leave that out of the equation. If the air conditioning system is provided by the landlord then he is responsible for its upkeep. Now, can you deduct it from the rent? No: your rent is due IN FULL every time it is due. Unless you have a proven medical necessity for air-conditioning you cannot take action against your landlord simply because he's not maintaining the A/C unit. But check the laws in your state as it may differ. If your AC unit is central and is also the heater for your apartment, then this is the focal point of the issue. Your landlord MUST maintain the heating unit to which you can keep warm in your apartment, normally at least 70 F. If he doesn't you can either have the unit fixed, and offset it from the rent-- notice must be given at least seven days before the next rent is due-- or you can vacate the premises.
