But for a tenant who actually has to live there, it can be a major problem that prevents them from using the rented property normally.
Today, I accompanied a client to court in a case exercising their right to terminate a lease agreement because the condition of the rented property was unfit for habitation. Despite notifying the other party to make repairs, the issue remained unresolved.
Sometimes, details that many people overlook can be a material essence of a contract. When a rented property is not in a condition that allows for normal use or habitation, it is a matter that simply cannot be ignored.
The rights of contracting parties do not exist merely to be written on paper; they exist to ensure that fairness is achieved in practice.
