We rented a house last year with a pool and spa. We had not used the spa for almost 2 weeks and when she came to do the walk through, it wasn’t working. She says that we are responsible for the repair. I don’t see how.
The other issue is the maintenance/chemicals of the pool. We stopped using it and putting chemicals in it for one week while we moved out. She said she can charge us for the cost of chemicals to get it up to par. I can’t find where this is true or not.

I eventually sold my property and was glad to be releaved from my pool.

If you are renting a property with a pool and paying more for it because of the pool, you would be entitled to some type of rent abatement. It will be difficult to get your landlord to work with you; so you will probably need some type of legal help. I really don’t think it would make much sense to hire an attorney… but you could very easily file a complaint with the RPA. There’s a $35 filing fee, so its not really a big financial hit. When you file the complaint you will be assigned to an RPA Mediator whom will negotiate with your landlord to find some type of resolution.

I hope that helps you. That’s what I would do. Good luck finding the new place.
