Ms. Braxton has established a legally viable defense and counterclaim based on the warranty of habitability. She states that an intruder entered and burglarized her apartment, thus endangering her safety. Ms. Braxton asserts that she felt unsafe in the apartment based on the landlord’s failure to replace the door, forcing her to spend weekends away from her apartment. Accordingly, Ms. Braxton may be able to show that she was unable to use the premises as they were reasonably intended — i.e., to live securely in the apartment.
