Depending on your lease agreement you may be able to sue and get a larger amount than that. It seems to me that this would be a breach of contract on their part by failing to provide adequate and timely maintenance.
If I were you, I would attempt to get at least half of your rent already paid, back. If you failed to pay your rent, they would evict you...breach of contract on your part. They failed to uphold their end of the contract (I would imagine) and therefore, they probably owe you more than that. Get ahold of the lease agreement and call a lawyer.
Come waste your time with me
