Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
74 yr old renter in mojave ca has a a/c unit not working...owner says they will not fix..can she withhold rent till fixed?
1 Answer from Attorneys
There is a repair and deduct provision in the code, but use caution. Failure to pay rent may result in landlord attempting eviction proceedings, so you must do it correctly.
