[13-Nov-2018] If it's important for you to keep abreast of basic laws to promote fairness in this unfair world, I'm here to report there was no source of heat in this Gillman Apartment unit before I found it on the market. By California law, rental units must have a working source of heat, among other things of course...

It's hard not to take situations, like people following man-made laws, for granted because I did put down a deposit and first month's rent not recalling seeing a heater or not. But, at somebody else's advice, before I signed the lease, I asked a rental agent if there was one, and he said yes. When we discovered there was no heater (!), I asked for one to be installed. The landlord agreed and his employees did install one the next day.

But for this and other reasons, I decided not to rent the unit because, in my opinion, the unit needed more attention. So I was charged a fee for keeping, what was, an illegal unit off the market. Even if, as this landlord claimed, there was a heater before and the previous tenant had removed it, who's responsibility is it in deciding to rent a 'habitable' unit? I asked him and got no answer. What is it, that the law was overlooked in this case?

If the unit had had a working source of heat at the time it was on the market before/when I found it, and I put down a deposit and first month's rent and then decided not to rent, I would have agreed to the landlord's decision to withhold the fee.
