Every residential lease in California carries an implied warranty of habitability. This fundamental concept imposes a duty on a landlord to provide safe, sanitary, and livable apartments<\/strong>. The duty covers both private living spaces and the public spaces within a building. If you’re facing housing habitability issues, our San Francisco habitability lawyer<\/strong> can help you take legal action and protect your rights.<\/p>\n

Landlords have a duty to keep the premises structurally safe, free from vermin, and have a safe electrical system and smoke detectors. If a landlord fails in this duty, a tenant can take legal action to compel the landlord to correct the condition or provide a partial refund of rent paid. In some cases, a tenant can stop paying rent<\/a> or leave the property.<\/p>\n

A landlord who has breached the warranty of habitability<\/strong> can even become liable for damages for the discomfort, annoyance, and emotional distress suffered by a tenant. On the other hand, an uninhabitable condition caused by a tenant does not constitute a breach of the warranty of habitability<\/a>.<\/p>\n
