Defendants contend that the change in ownership from the Bakers to plaintiffs did not terminate the tenants' rights to assert the breach of warranty of habitability defense as to the continuing breaches on the part of plaintiffs. Therefore, instructing the jury on Civil Code section 823 was inappropriate and confusing. On the other hand, plaintiffs argue that Civil Code section 823 applies to the present case because a successor landlord should not be held liable for a previous owner's breach of the implied warranty of habitability.
