Hey all,
Thanks for all the replies. I fully agree, comparables is a must - I was simply tired and grumpy with my landlord when I wrote my OP and thinking to myself I will just move instead of dealing with them. However, in general I try not to do half-@ss attempts in my life, so I am not sure why I was being lazy about this since I would prefer to avoid moving.
Lesson learnt - don't respond to emails when you're grumpy, or apparently post on message boards as you are not thinking clearly.
Also I was overconfident in my position - 3.5 year rental history, very rarely contact them about anything and always give them months to fix it, always pay within 1 day of due (i.e. had a couple months where the sig other forgot to pay and we received an email, but we had then paid right away) and bad market for landlords
