warranty of habitability

你自己想一下，水龍頭滴水，開關控製廁所燈和插座，和門關不嚴，是否是“ property in substantial compliance with the local housing code.”

The implied warranty of habitability is the type of implied warranty in residential leases  by most jurisdictions. This warranty requires landlords to keep their property "habitable," even if the lease does specifically require them to make repairs.

“Habitability” is typically defined as property in substantial compliance with the local housing code. Due to this implied warranty, a tenant’s obligation to pay rent is contingent upon the property’s habitability and a tenant is free to withhold rent if they believe their home is not up to the required standards.
