3. The judge found that on a Sunday early in June, 1986, the landlord was notified that the smoke alarms in the apartment building were sounding. The landlord responded that he would get to it on Monday (which he did). The judge found that the landlord’s failure to silence the smoke alarms in a timely manner was an interference with the tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the leased premises (in violation of G.
