I have an odd scenario right now; I rented out a small property in december. While going over the property, the lease and the rules of the property with the realator we discovered that both the toilet and the shower were inoperable. I was fine with renting the property and signed the lease as they had said that they would take care of it by the next week. One month passed and the toilet finally got repaired after two attempts. The realators declined to offer compensation for the month in which the place was uninhabitable by what I believe was california civil code 1942. I'm now attempting to get out of the lease and I have sent a letter of intent with certified mail. I'm trying to make sure that I have the legal prescidence to leave the lease since the lease was signed while the property was uninhabitable and you cannot charge rent or lease properties that are uninhabitable.
