Landlord's responsibility for repairs

Before renting a rental unit to a tenant, a landlord must make the unit fit to live in, or habitable. Additionally, while the unit is being rented, the landlord must repair problems which make the rental unit unfit to live in, or uninhabitable.

Conditions that make a rental unit legally uninhabitable

There are many kinds of defects that could make a rental unit unlivable. The implied warranty of habitability requires landlords to maintain their rental units in a condition fit for the "occupation of human beings." In addition, the rental unit must "substantially comply" with building and housing code standards that materially affect tenants' health and safety.

A dwelling may be considered uninhabitable (unlivable) if it substantially lacks any of the following:

Plumbing facilities in good working order, including hot and cold running water, connected to a sewage disposal system.

Clean and sanitary buildings, grounds, and appurtenances (for example, a garden or a detached garage), free from debris, filth, rubbish, garbage, rodents, and vermin.

In addition to these requirements, each rental unit must have all of the following:

A working toilet, wash basin, and bathtub or shower.

Excellent! I wish I had taken pics when my tub backed up with sewerage, and it took them three days to come and fix it. It had reached the rim of the tub by the time they got to it.

Sweet. Zombie. Jesus. Is your apartment built over an Indian burial ground?

Allyson, you can also report your landlord to the Department of Building Inspection.

Strega, I'll put the original on my list. Malcolm McDowell and Nastassja Kinski being unsexy. Quite the achievement.

Allyson! Go stick to them. Stick it to The Man.

Kristin, did the name of your old school start with an A?

New Hustle tonight, that started with Danny and Michael being nekkid together, and ended with them hugging and telling each other that they loved each other.

Why is there no slash, and how can we get Dana and Shrift to fix it?

Lee, I was just coming here to post about it. I'm not reading your whitefont, since I'm just at what you're probably saying it started with.

And now I need to take the ice off and go to bed.

I think you probably were, ita. That was the best part.

I hope whatever you were icing feels better.

Kristin, did the name of your old school start with an A?

Name of my old school started with an "M". Name of new school starts with "A".

If you would like a less cryptic response, I could tell you on IM or via email. I'm pixkristin4 on AIM.
