What law? We don't know what state you're in.

Some state have a rent abatement theory which means you pay
X in rent, which assumes market value. If the building is
flawed in ways that bring it below market value, you are
entitled to a partial refund because your rent should be
lower for substandard conditions that were not considered
when you signed the rental agreement.
