What to do if I rented a vacation condo for 2 months but upon my arrival I discovered that the building is undergoing major construction?

There is deafening jackhammering all day long and balconies and windows sealed off? I paid in advance and at the time there was construction on the hotel side of the bldg. In the contract was written, “If there is noisy construction at similar decibel level there will a 10% discount”. The decibel level is 10 times that and I just want my money back to pay for another place. The only response I get is that I will get deposit back after inspection walk through. They have almost $10,000 of my money. I am a senior here alone, on disability and this situation is wearing me down.

Based upon what you have written under the laws of all states in this country you have the legal right to rescind (cancel) the contract and get what you paid to get. I would contact the person who you were dealing with when you went into contract demanding your money back due to breach of contract and follow up with a confirming writing.

Keep a copy of the writing for future use and need. If you do not get the desired response, contact a consumer law attorney to assist you.
