What would you do with your renting lease in this situation?

Ive recently moved into an apartment with fiance, approximately close to 2 months.  When we first moved in, the lease stated we would have a washer and dryer. However, there isnt a washer and dryer.  We know the landlord so he had stated it would be 2-4 weeks before he could get the new appliances.  We trusted him, so wd agreed and moved in.  I have since brought up the washer and dryer to him but the only answer i seem to get is "soon." 

My question is, how should i go about handling the siuation.  I havd found a place we can get washer and dryer on credit for about 85 a month but i feel thats what we are already paying rent for.  Since the lease states there should be a washer and dryer present, what could we do?

    I would have a talk with the landlord and tell him that if he cannot hold up his end of the lease about providing a washer and dryer then you are going to either buy them yourself and take it out of your rent payment, or you are going to just move out. The landlord has to abide by the lease just like a tenant is expected to. What would he do if you didnt pay rent?? he would be on you so fast to make that payment. Dont leave him alone about it. Call him every day to talk about the washer and dryer...if he still has excuses...move.

    Move out due to his not holding the lease agreement.

    Stay away from friends when doing business agreements. Sheesh!
