Sorry if this long, but question for owners and/or renters, if you have ever experienced this type of situation...I have a month long rental coming up in about a week. In the description of the condo, the owner clearly states, fully remodeled including new kitchen appliances (fridge, range and dishwasher); they are on order and should arrive on this date. Well, that date was about a month ago, and still no appliances. He has provided me, via text, two other delivery dates, the later, of which, is in 5 days. Today I spoke with him on the phone, asking about what's going on and what if the items should arrive during my stay? He said he, or his "guy," would come in and spend a half a day ripping out the old and installing the new. Not really what I want to deal with, during my vacation, but ok. He also got sort of short with me when I brought up the topic, saying well, I can't help this. It's beyond my control and COVID, blah blah blah. And, I am already getting a " great deal" which I can assure you, I am not. I understand it's not his fault, had he been more understanding, I may not even be pursuing this. So, my question is, do I have any recourse in terms of cancelling or getting a discount? I should add that he said the old appliances do work and are in good condition, he remodeled, so he wanted new. I hope this is the case, if they don't get here before I check in.
Also, I have not signed the lease yet, if that matters. He never said anything to me about this, but maybe it's in print somewhere? OK, TIA if you have any advice.
