Can I break a rental lease in Virginia after 3 days? My landlord has not cleaned the place I'm moving into.

Asked by MissFairlight (6points) August 3rd, 2010

I signed a rental agreement several days back. The agreement had me take over the lease on Aug 2. I have NOT moved on single item into the property because it’s disgusting. I repeatedly told the reality company that I wanted the carpets shampoo’d (they’re beyond filthy), the broken blinds changed, etc. I arrive to move in Aug 2., the carpets are gross, the blinds are still broke, the blinds in the kitchen are caked with grease and dust, the toliet has public hair hair around the base, the tub is grimmy & filthy, the bulbs are out in locations, the stove has not been cleaned and is caked in food, the windows will not lock. The worst part is that the realitor told me the apartment has central air but what he FAILED to tell me is that I don’t have a controller in my unit. The landlord sets the temperature and monitors the temperature of the whole place. Air goes on my electric bill! The basement has water dripping from the ceiling into the floor and smells horribly like milddew. HELP!
