Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

I just started renting a house in Glendale from a property management company. When I looked at the house the pool was in bad shape, it was a pond and the pool equipment was not working. The realtor that I was working with asked if the pool would be in working order and ready to be used when I moved in, the rental company assured him that it would be and that they needed 10 days to make all the necessary repairs (pool needed to be drain, acid washed, broken drains fixed, and the pool light needed to be fixed as well.) When I signed the lease and pick up my keys I asked again if the pool was ready, because I was not going to sign the lease and give the deposit if it was not, the assured me that everything had been repaired. I move from another state only to find out that NOTHING had been done to the pool and I still had an unusable pond in my backyard. The lease states that the landlord is responsible for the pool maintenance and chemicals. It has now been a month and while I can go in the pool, the pool will only filter through the spa, the self cleaning vents in the pool don't work and neither does the pool light, they are also refusing to reimburse me for the water that it took to refill the pool that should be their responsibility since it was supposed to be done BEFORE I moved in. It seems in AZ I don't really have alot of rights as a tenant and this company is exploiting that. Please let me know what I can do it get this resolved as soon as possible and enjoy my new house! Ty!
