Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in California
Ca. civil code cc1942.4
the heater in my apt has never worked. when the building was sold and the new owners raised my rent $ 235.00 and then again
$ 80.00 I requested that my heater be fixed with returned receipt requested letters to him after going through 2 winters waiting for them to fix it I called the Health Dept. and the owner was cited for that and a few other things on 10-30-07and i have a copy of the list that was sent to owner. As of today they have only fixed 1 of the 5 violations There are 5 open code enforcement cases on the property and 3 pages of violations on other units in the building. Is this Ca civil code enforced?If so my landlord should not of collected any rent after dec. correct and what can be done because he did?

It is best to just break the lease. Despite the code violations, a Judge is not likely to give you much of a break, since you did continue to inhabit the premises when you had other options.
