What are habitability claims?

Monday, September 8, 2025

Habitability claims arise when a rental property has conditions that make it unsafe or unfit to live in. Examples include mold, pest infestations, broken heating or plumbing, or other serious maintenance failures. In California, landlords have a legal duty to provide livable housing, and when that duty is not met, tenants may bring a habitability claim to seek repairs, rent adjustments, or compensation.

I can’t say enough good things about SNS Law Group. After being involved in a car accident, I was overwhelmed—not just by the physical recovery, but by the thought of dealing with insurance, bills, and the legal process. Edrin, Bijan and Khushboo made navigating my personal injury claim incredibly easy from start to finish.
