2.  Judge's decision.  In his findings and rulings, the judge focused on the bathroom flooring to support his conclusion that there was a breach of the warranty of habitability.[9]  Specifically, the judge found that "[t]he condition of the bathroom floor was serious enough so as to endanger the health or safety of the [d]efendant [Torres] and the minor children residing at the [p]remises, so that that condition did diminish the fair rental value of the premises in a significant way."  The judge also found that Torres proved that this condition caused a violation of the warranty of habitability from July 2021 through March 2022.[10]  The judge awarded damages in the amount of $1,170.00, but denied Torres's request for attorney's fees.[11]
