The air handler control panel is on order. Installation has been rescheduled for Tuesday. Landlord suggests this is fantastic - that this is great service compared to the previous home warranty provider who would have, Landlord states, not even have addressed the issue by now. Tenant suggests that this contractual relationship isn't his problem because Landlord's relationship with a third party warrantor is irrelevant. Tenant's problem is the breach of the implied warranty of habitability which is also a breach of the lease. The law of all 50 states establishes as implied warranty of habitability running concurrent with any residential lease and contemplates habitability as a reasonable expectation of comfort in one's living environment. Tenant considers with-holding rent and/or requesting an abatement.
