Thank you very much for all of the info, it helps a lot. We have also been without hot water/running water several times since we moved in. Is there a specific type of lawyer I should contact? I worry about legal fees outweighing what we could withhold from our rent. Thank you.

Im not sure what type of lawyer.. I definitely can understand your concerns. Most lawyers will do a consultation with you for free. There is also this in Rhode Island which you could try contacting at least to get some more guidance in this area: https://www.helprilaw.org/node/80/pro-bono-volunteer-law-program
