A very similar thing happened to me recently and it was honestly a nightmare to deal with. I feel for you right now!
Take pictures of everything! My apartment managers kept trying to downplay the situation but having pictures helped my case.
Also, document every interaction you have with your apartment manager...every phone call, letter, etc. My apt. manager was absolutely terrible at returning calls and kept blowing me off. Having a record of how many times I tried contacting him, who I left messages with, etc., was extremely valuable.
And, if they try to tell you it is in livable condition but you disagree, have a building inspector look at your apartment. They can then contact the management. In Milwaukee, they have a tenant protection group, so the building inspector came for free and acted as a mediator between the management and me. You might want to look to see if they have something similar in your city.
Good luck! Keep us posted!
ETA: For those who may be in Milwaukee, this was Katz Properties.
