Full Text
775 chars[5] The statute, which was approved July 19, 1972, shortly after McKenna's tenancy began, provided that where a landlord has been notified by the board of health of code violations which may endanger the health, safety, or well being of a tenant and has failed to repair the violations, the tenant may repair them himself and deduct the cost from his rent payments as they become due. Statute 1975, c. 274 (effective June 3, 1975), which amended c. 111, § 127L, extended the limitation to four months' rent. But even that would have been short of the amount needed to repair the major violations found to exist in this case. This "repair and deduct" statute was apparently designed to remedy less expensive defects. See Green v. Superior Court, 10 Cal.3d 616, 630-631 (1974).
