Except I wasn’t able to live in the unit at all. I had to go the rounds with him before they finally deducted my rent for the days I couldn’t live in the rental. I think you should get some type of deduction, probably not completely, since you were still able to live in the rental during the work.

It states that in events when the unit is non-livable the landlord will be liable for no more than rent abatement. This means that the landlord is responsible for up to the pro-rated rent for the days that were un-occupiable. However, in your case you were still able to live there, the only difference is that it wasn’t too fun. I would suggest doing as the last response said and try to get your landlord to agree to a portion of the daily rent. Another option is to break your lease. Since you were not provided with the basic living ammenities for such a long time, you may be able to say that your landlord breached contract, and therefore you should be able to terminate your agreement early. If you need help with this you can hire and attorney, or file a complaint with the RPA.
