McKenna v. Begin, 5 Mass. App. Ct. 304, 310-311 (1977), relying on Boston Hous. Authy. v. Hemingway, 363 Mass. 184 (1973), established “a percentage reduction of use” method for computing damages for breach of the implied warranty of habitability. Regulations 61-03 and 61-04 utilize this approach, denominating it a determination of “the fair value of the premises during the time [the substandard] condition existed.” The landlord questions only the period to which the fair value analysis is applied, not the method itself.
