This is illegal. Unless it's a health and safety issue (i.e. no heat, no water, dangerous walls falling down), you cannot withhold rent for that reason.

You are obligated to pay the rent at the address specified on the rental agreement (or otherwise specified place of business in the agreement), why would the expectation be that someone has to come collect on your obligations?
