Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
I signed a lease in January. Part of the lease was I got to be member of an on-site tennis club. They are closing down the tennis club in May but didn't mention this when we were signing, rather they used it to draw me in, as it is the only reason I moved here. Am I entitled to demand a reduction in rent = to the club membership per month? In the lease is says any closing of amenities does not give the leaser the right to get lower rent or early termination. But as they knew about this and did not disclose the information when we signed, am I stuck in my rent or can I legally get it reduced?

If it is fraud you can sue and get the choice of either monetary damages or rescission. But you don't get a reduction in rent under the law unless the place has habitability issues.
