A quick definition of habitability, implied warranty of:

The implied warranty of habitability means that when someone buys or rents a home, the seller or landlord promises that the home is safe and livable. This means that the home should have working plumbing, electricity, and heating, and should not have any dangerous conditions that could harm the people living there. In Scottish law, habit and repute refers to a person's reputation, which used to be important for getting married or for determining the severity of a theft.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The implied warranty of habitability refers to the legal obligation of a landlord to provide a rental property that is safe, sanitary, and fit for human habitation. This means that the landlord must ensure that the property meets certain minimum standards, such as having working plumbing, heating, and electrical systems, and being free from pests and other hazards.

Example: If a tenant discovers that their apartment has a leaky roof or a mold problem, they may be able to invoke the implied warranty of habitability to force the landlord to make repairs. Similarly, if a landlord fails to provide adequate heat during the winter months, the tenant may be able to withhold rent until the issue is resolved.

These examples illustrate how the implied warranty of habitability protects tenants from living in unsafe or unsanitary conditions. By holding landlords accountable for maintaining their properties, this legal concept helps to ensure that tenants have access to safe and healthy housing.
