Introduction

Habitability is the conformance of a residence or abode to the implied warranty of habitability ... It is an implied warranty or contract, meaning it does not have to be an express contract, covenant, or provision of a contract. It is a common law right of a tenant or legal doctrine.”

Although there is no concise, statutory definition of the term, there are LOTS of regulations mandating the minimum performance requirements of residential property being rented by owners to tenants.

This presentation is a 1-hour walk through Pete Fowler Construction Services’ (PFCS) Construction Claims Analysis Method applied to Habitability Claims brought by residential tenants against landlords.

No two claims are the same, but our analytical method walks us through a professional investigation and analysis, like how the scientific method aids in discovery of the workings of our natural world, regardless of the specifics of the claim.
