The owner may enter the premises without tenant's consent if there is an emergency or if the tenant has abandoned the premises. Also, the occupants of the premises shall not be subjected to any conditions which would be dangerous, hazardous or detrimental to their life, health or safety. If the condition is caused by misconduct of the tenant, it is tenant's responsibility to correct the condition. Then the owner by law is required to keep the dwelling clean and in good repair. Owners of multiple dwellings must also provide heat and hot water and local laws may require the furnishing of other services.
Tenants are responsible for all damages they, their guests or invitees cause to the premises.
Where the owner has breached the warranty, the tenant may be entitled to make the repair at owner's expense and to a reduction in rent or even possibly to terminate their tenancy. Residential premises may be occupied by the named tenant, the immediate family of the tenant, one additional occupant and dependent children of the occupant, provided the tenant or tenant's spouse occupies the premises as his or her primary residence. If the premises are rented to more than one tenant, then occupancy is permitted by tenants, immediate family of tenants, occupants and dependent children of occupants, provided that the total number of tenants and occupants, excluding occupant's dependent's children, does not exceed the number of tenants specified in the current lease or rental agreement, and that at least one tenant or a tenant's spouse occupies the premises as his or her primary residence. The apartment must have enough rooms for the extra occupants and the tenant needs to give the landlord written notice and names of all occupants within 30 days after they have moved in. The owner may unconditionally withhold consent without cause provided owner releases tenant from the lease, upon the tenant's request made on thirty days notice.
