But let me ask you, before you signed the lease and rented the apartment, did you do a walk through? Did you note that things that need to be improved on and did you actually document? I’m guessing you didn’t judging from your surprise when you found out the particulars.

Insulation is a must. If the property is not well insulated then that could be something the city needs to know. You have the right to get a copy of your lease. Your landlord has to give that to you. If the lease is void, that must be done in writing. A verbal agreement is not enough. You need to have a proof that the lease is really void.

And if you can have that proof that the lease is void, then you can pack up your things and move. The security deposit may or may not be returned since it will cover the cost of damages to the place while you were there.

If the landlord does not give you a written agreement that the lease is void, then the most logical step would be to file a complaint. FYI. There is no government agency that would help you file a complaint against a landlord. RPA is a private organization that can help you with that. File a complaint through them.
