Tenant's Claims Weren't Specific Enough

January 1, 2005

LVT Number: 17845

Landlord sued to evict tenant for nonpayment of rent. Tenant claimed breach of the warranty of habitability. The court ruled for landlord and gave tenant no rent abatement. Tenant appealed and lost. Tenant's testimony about the claimed breach of warranty was vague. Tenant claimed that he gave verbal notice of various conditions to landlord, but didn't say which building employees he told. His claims weren't specific enough.
