Shared laundry machine is broken and the manager didn't reply to my email for days. It's still not repaired. I need clean clothes without having to pay more at a laundromat.

The building manager finally replied to my email today, but they said they'll look at it tomorrow. So it doesn't even guarantee that it will be fixed.

I have heavy construction clothes that need to be washed, so it looks like I'll have to drive to a laundromat and it will cost more.

I want to be compensated, but the manager replied that the washer and dryer are used at the tenants' own risk. Is there nothing I can do? Money's tight.
