The California Supreme Court in Green v. Superior Court (1974) 10 Cal.3d 616, 639, 111 Cal.Rptr. 704, 517 P.2d 1168 held that a tenant who successfully proves that the landlord has breached the warranty of habitability is entitled not only to maintain possession of the premises but also to a reduction of rent corresponding to the reduced value of the premises. The Green court further held that a tenant is not entitled to a reduction in rent for minor violations that do not materially affect a tenant's health and safety. (Id. at p. 638, 111 Cal.Rptr. 704, 517 P.2d 1168.)
