Warranty of Habitability

The guarantee by a landlord that one may safely live in a residence. For example, a warranty of habitability implies that the landlord must provide a structurally sound residence with suitable drinking water, locks on the doors, and so forth. A warranty of habitability is implied in a lease; depending on the jurisdiction, if a landlord does not live up to the warrant, a tenant may withhold rent, refuse to pay rent, or even break the lease and move out.
