Water Leakage Repair Rights

I'm sorry to hear that, ****. Can you please let me know if you've already contacted your landlord about this issue? It's important as California law requires landlords to keep their properties habitable.

Under California law, your landlord is responsible for repairs:
- Civil Code Section * states landlords must maintain dwellings in habitable condition.
- Civil Code Section * allows tenants to repair and deduct rent if landlord doesn't fix within a reasonable time.
Have you received any response from your landlord?

I'm sorry to hear that, ****. You may consider sending your landlord a written notice about the issue and if no action is taken, you can use the 'repair and deduct' method under California Civil Code Section *.

I see, ****. Under California Civil Code Section *, if the landlord doesn't make the repairs within a reasonable time, you may be able to have the repairs done yourself and deduct the cost from your rent. Remember to keep any receipts related to the repair.

I understand, ****. Even in an apartment, under California Civil Code Section *, you can still make the repairs and deduct the cost from your rent if your landlord fails to do the repairs within a reasonable time.

Under California Civil Code Section *, if the landlord doesn't repair serious defects that make the rental uninhabitable within a reasonable time after being notified, you may have the option to abandon the premises and terminate your lease. Please consult with a legal professional to consider all aspects.
