Apartment problem!?

Ok, so there was a big storm with hail and all that great stuff on a Thursday night, well it knocked out all my windows and water and ice and glass were everywhere, well Friday it was supposed to rain again, and my apt. complex did nothing to my windows to protect my apt. from getting ruined again, so I had to put up plastic myself. So Finally on Saturday, they put plywood over my windows and here we are Tuesday and still no windows. I cant stay at my apt. because it stinks, its hot without any air on, and its just gross. I want to have my rent pro-rated but I wouldnt know under what conditions do I have the right to demand that, I think they did a very poor job in handling this situation, and I dont know where to begin in looking for a law or regulation that would allow me to have my rent lowered, any ideas?

ADD and Punishment?

I have a 16 year old son who has ADD. He takes adderal. The problem is that even with adderal, when he gets home he spends his time messaging and doing everything other than his schoolwork. We sent him to a private school this summer so he could develop good study skills which seemed to work at least until the end of the summer session when he started to slip.

I suggested to my wife that the only way we can get him to recognize that the computers in the house are for work and not play is to eleminate his access to them. He can still walk to the library and use computers there. Once he shows improvement, we can have access to the home machines.

Thoughts on this approach please.

Anybody know if there is some hidden problem with this type of sale?

I recently signed a contract to buy a new home from the builder, previous contract fell through, the home is ready for move in, I was told closing costs would be paid by the builder. The contract is contingent upon me financing thru the builders mortgage company. I paid a pretty large earnest fee, 8k. I was reluctant to pay this without talking to the lender first but of the course I was told their mortgage co would be able to provide any other rates that banks quoted me. As it was, I had a preapproved loan, and yes it is at a much better rate. Now it looks like I am stuck with this deal. The papers provided by the mortgage co don’t reflect any closing costs being paid by the builder, they actually have my earnest money listed in this block. Am I being taken for a ride here? Any help out there?
