THORNTON, Colo. (KDVR) -- A husband and wife told the Problem Solvers that they have been trying to get their apartment complex to fix their broken air conditioner since May. "I've brought it to their attention that I am three months pregnant," Yadeli Martinez said. She and her husband said they started renting at the Avens Point Apartments back in September.
