Implied Warranty of Habitability in Leases
Abstract
This paper will discuss (and take issue with) the position of a significant number of American courts which have held that there is no warranty of habitability implied in a lease. It will demonstrate the failure of many courts in this country to improve the common law rule, which has proven unrealistic in light of current legislative housing standards and building codes.
