Q: Landlord wont honor Repair and Deduct because they have warranty with a company that isnt operating due to covid19
The AC where I live gives constant problems, I told the realtor who is the middle man between me and my landlord told me that I could get it repaired but the cost would be on me so I mentioned the contract states that any repair over 100$ is to be paid by the landlord and that i had no problem on getting it repaired through Repair and Deduct and they responded that because they have a warranty with a company that is not operational as of now due to the COVID19 they wont honor me the deduction
A: And your question would be whether the landlord has to honor the "repair and deduct" contract clause? The landlord's warranty work is the landlord's problem. I believe the landlord will have to honor the clause. But you should have an attorney review the contract to be sure.
Bruce Alexander Minnick agrees with this answer
A: In light of the moment-by-moment changes being made to federal, state and local laws as all the governments try to handle all aspects of the Corona virus pandemic sweeping the world I have decided not even to try to answer any of the scores of "what if" questions being posted by askers here on Justia. Wait it out.
