How can I get my landlord to fix the front steps, replace my crappy carpet, and clean out the ventation system in this crappy apartment? Do I have to threaten to move out before something is done? HELP!

Unless any of those render the unit unfit for human habitation or create a serious safety hazard, you may be stuck with them. Contact city hall and request an inspection of the property for code compliance. If that doesn't get you anywhere, move when your lease is up.

If the landlord values you as a tenant, he may, at his discretion make the repairs requested. However it is not required, unless there is a safety concern, or agreed in writing to do so.

When you moved in you should have seen the condition the apartment was in. You also should have filled out a move in move out form ( http://www.rentalcashflow.com/Form-Move-in-Move-out-Form.asp ). The Move in Move out form is an agreement between you and the landlord as to the condition of the apartment. This is your protection from losing your deposit.
