Regarding the warranty of habitability, Civil Code section 1942, subdivision (d) states: "The remedy provided by this section is in addition to any other remedy provided by this chapter, the rental agreement, or other applicable statutory or common law." Since charter amendments are accorded the dignity of statutes (Cal. Const., art. XI, § 3, subd. (a); 45 Cal.Jur.3d Municipalities, § 58, p. 111), it is clear that Civil Code section 1942 does not preempt the remedy provided by the charter amendment in question.
