Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
What is considered Uninhabitable?
I manage a brand new community. With full occupancy within two months there has been normal insects to which we have begun our pest control regulary at the property on a per case issue and then routinely servicing our new property. Our lease does not offer a lease break unless it is for military reasons. We are a tax-credit property. A resident gave me a thirty day notice saying the apartment was uninhabitable because of roaches, niose and poeple who don't speak english and a list of other things that are more things considered apartment living. Regarding the roaches though, she has never come to the office to report service for the roaches or any other problems, she only served a notice. What is the definition currently, legally, for an aparmtment being uninhabitable?
Thank you,
