Rental Repairs and inconveniences of moving out

By Tenant

I have been in my apt for 16 months in November. 8 months ago my bathtub drained into my kitchen, leaving it in a pool of water. The plumber had "fixed" it. Last week my tub did the same thing, and left my kitchen in an inch of water. Not only am I worried about the appliances plugged in sitting in this, but my health and inconveniences this has caused. The ceiling is bowed entirely, and the plumber has said the damage has been on ongoing issue for quite some time. God knows what’s lurking in this place. I have asked my land lord to get a new apt. They are treating me as a brand new tenant. They are holding my first 575 deposit, making me pay rent on the first (600), pay another 575 deposit, and also, if I move in before the 1st, I’m reliable for a pro-rated rate of 20$ a day to move in early. This seems completely unfair to me that this is their problem, and I’m stressed out about it. They are being completely inconsiderate of my health, and making this impossible to just be in a clean sanitary apt. What should I do?
