Habitability & Unsafe Living Conditions
If unsafe living conditions caused you to become injured, ill, or displaced from your home, you have rights.
When Unsafe Living Conditions Cause Harm
If unsafe living conditions caused you to become injured, ill, or displaced from your home, you have rights. Serious habitability failures can expose residents to dangerous conditions that threaten health and safety.
Landlords and property owners have a legal duty to maintain habitable living conditions. When they fail to address serious hazards, such as structural defects, pest infestations, water damage, or lack of heat, they can be held liable for the injuries and illness that result.
This page focuses on cases where habitability failures led to serious injuries, illness, or displacement. For comprehensive information about unsafe property conditions and unsafe property conditions, visit our main practice area page.
