Therefore, application of the implied warranty of habitability depends on the particular circumstances. Id. at 520, 799 P.2d 250. Generally, the warranty applies whenever the defects in a particular dwelling render it uninhabitable or pose an actual or potential safety hazard to its occupants. Id. at 522, 799 P.2d 250; Stuart, 109 Wash.2d at 416, 745 P.2d 1284. Thus, Mr. Stalick's general proposition that any breach of the warranty of habitability must entail a defect so severe as to render the dwelling uninhabitable is unpersuasive.
