No Operable Refrigerator or Stove

July 31, 2006

LVT Number: 19053

Landlord sued to evict tenant for nonpayment of rent. Tenant claimed a breach of the warranty of habitability. The court ruled for tenant and granted him some rent abatement. Landlord appealed and lost. Tenant proved that landlord didn't provide tenant with an operable refrigerator and stove, and didn't repair other defective conditions in the apartment. The amount of the rent abatement ordered by the trial court was reasonable.
