Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Landlord/Tenant
I know that you can keep the rent for repairs that the landlord refuses to fix. What is the code for California and what can I do about it when the landlord has served us a court date and the judge want let you give your side of the case?

Re: Landlord/Tenant
Civil Code 1942 covers "repair and deduct".
If you were served with a law suit, you must answer within 5 days.
