Ok, Mr. Sanders.
To rub a little salt in the wound... calculate what % of the residence that you are actually using and multiply that amount by your rent. Then, deduct that amount from your rent and BILL the owner for storage fees.
At the very least, your first month's rent should be reduced by a fairly healthy amount, for the aggravation as well as for deception.
You know the line.. "the squeaky wheel gets the grease".
