Can We Deduct Some Of Our Rent Payment If We Did Not Have A Working Heater For 10 Days During A Storm? I Live In California
 No you can't deduct any amount from the actual rent. The heater is already placed for repair. You have to be patient in the situation. There is no law which gives you the freedom to do this in California. |

Normally, the only way to deduct rent for non-funtioning required appliances, unless agreed upon by the landlord, is to put the money for rent into an escrow account with the clerk of court and have the courts and/or Landlord/Tenants Associations resolve the matter. The law may differ from county to county, so check first. Call your local Landlord/Tennant arbitrators for more information in your area. Sometimes you can call the city and they will cite the landlord to have the unit repaired, although this is not a rental issue. It is a way to guarantee a reticent landlord lives up to their responsibilities without giving you the run-around. Only do this if you have requested (usually in writing) to have the work done, and a significant amount of time has elapsed. If it is 20° below and your heat doesn't work, one day could be significant time!

Probably not. Most state laws say that if it is not the fault of the landlord, then it can't be deducted. Like an act of whatever supreme being you believe in. |
