Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Maintenance

I have a bathroom stall that is not working. I called the property managment to fix it and they advised me they are going to charge the tenants (ME). They say that we are responsible for any repairs to the interior or exterior.

In the lease, there is a clause that states under MAINTENANCE, ''Resident accepts house in as is condition. Any repairs to the interior or exterrio of said house will be the responsibility of the resident with the exception fo the roof and structural portions of the building which will be the responsibility of the Lessor.''

Does this statement eliminate us from have a livable dwelling provided by the lessor?

No, the landlord cannot get you to agree to violate the Civil Code.
