Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Lost amenity
My fireplace is broken and unusable.
But my landlord won't pay to fix it.
How do I figure out how much to
deduct from my monthly rent?
Is $250 fair?

Re: Lost amenity
It is my understanding that the repair and deduct statute applies only repairs that go to habitability issues. A fireplace is not required for a home to be habitable.
