COURT RULES ON COLD APARTMENTS.
Tenant Only Remedy to Install Stoves or
Move When Landlord Withholds Steam.

If a landlord tries 10. freeze person out Of the
latters apartments. the only legal remedy for the
tenant is TO move install stoves. according TO a
decision handed down yesterday by the Appellate
Division Of the Supreme Court. The decision says:
If the tenant had found before taking possession
that the heat was insufficient. ne would have been
justified IN refusing TO occupy the apartment. and
could have defended action compel him TO
pay rent, on the ground that the landlord had
never furnished him with such apartment as
contemplated by the lease. He could also defend
FOR surrender1ng the apartment after discovery of
its lack of heat.
Plaintiff. however. retained possession and be
liable Tor the rent. and for the mere discOn-
fort which resulted there was for action.
The defendant offered some evidence to show
that the apartment could have been heated by gas
heaters - an expense not exceeding 50 q month
but the tenant made no attempt 70 supply this
deficiency Of heat and therefore put to no
expense lie not entitled 20 recover.
