It is essential that the premises be residential, and it doesn’t matter whether the rental agreement is oral or written, it is implied in every residential lease. It is also manifest that the purpose of the statute is to make landlords legally liable to tenants for monetary damages for failure to properly maintain premises, make repairs and provide necessary services. (See, Mahlmann v Yelverton, 109 Misc 2d 127 [1980].) 4. Decision of the court
