In California, all tenants have the right to live in a safe and habitable home. Residential landlords must ensure that certain conditions are met, making the rental units clean, safe, sanitary, and habitable for potential renters. Part of this responsibility is to make timely and appropriate repairs.<\/p>\n

Suppose the landlord has refused to make repairs to increase the habitability<\/b> of your rental unit. In that case, it is highly advisable to consult a seasoned San Francisco landlord-tenant lawyer<\/a> to help you take legal actions and fight for your rights as a tenant.<\/p>\n
