Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Minnesota

Breach of Contract
On June 6, 2004 I signed a one year lease and an agreement that a water softener and a storm door would be installed in and on my townhouse. I have this in writing and after making several calls and talking to everyone in the company office as well as the resident manager, the softener was installed seven months into the lease. The door however was never installed. The bathroom drain leaked for two weeks, and the ceiling in the garage fell through from the weight of the water saturated insulation, that was never fixed but they did fix the drain,only after calling and telling the company that I was going to hold the rent money until it was fixed. The fireplace was listed as an amenity but it didn't work, and that was fixed two months before I was moving out after we gave up trying to get them to fix it. And all this plus more than I can write here because me and my fiance were in their own words '' Very good and valued tenants'' !!! My question is that since we have an agreement to have a softener and door installed, and they didn't follow through with the agreement, do I have a case of breach of contract on my hands and if so what would I ask for as compensation for this breach? There is much more to this than I can write here also.

Re: Breach of Contract

As a landlord for 25 years, I think it would be appropriate for the landlord to give some sort of discount for your deficiencies in amenities.

The $ amount is up for negotiation, but I'd start at a free months rent.
