warranty of habitability
- An unstated assurance in a residential lease agreement that ensures the rented property will be fit for living
- The leaky faucet in the kitchen violated the warranty of habitability, as it affected the tenant's usability of the space.
- The landlord is legally bound to fix the broken heater because it infringes on the warranty of habitability.
- If the apartment does not have either running water or electricity, that's a clear breach of the warranty of habitability.
