1) For those items you requested to repair, but not done in your leasing term. It is called deferred maintenance and is a kind of damage to your lease interests, so you could ask for the compensation or partial refund for your rent;
窗戶的問題我隻是填在了move-in inventory sheet上麵，沒有另外單獨的maintenance request. 但是按照問題的性質，因為影響日常生活，他們知道之後就應該修，所以也應該算deferred maintenance 吧？
這個公寓是所謂的Luxury apartment，月租$996, 住了大約2年又一個半月，交了大約$26,000的房租。8個窗戶有4個一直有問題，還有一個時好時壞。要$1300的compensation或5%的refund應該可以吧？
2) For the repaired Cabinet, your share should be prorated, the normal residence’s depreciation period is 27 ½ year, at least you could prorate your share according to this period;
這個公寓是2002年建成的，所以到現在用了差不多9年，所以我們應當付的是餘下的18½年的，也就是大約2./3的refinishing charges，是這樣算嗎？
3) Let them show you the receipt for that cabinet repair; and get price quote from other contracts
好
4) Write a letter to the leasing office to address your argument and propose a solution
是
5) If they sent your debt to collect agency before they answered your letter, that is kind harassment, and you could use it as one argument in the court
知道這點我就放心了，非常感謝。
