Habitability is the conformance of a residence or abode to the implied warranty of habitability. A residence that complies is said to be "habitable". 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.〔(Nolo )〕 In order to be habitable, such housing usually: * must provide shelter, with working locks * must be heated in the winter months (typically between October 1 and May 31 in the Northeastern United States)〔In New York, see N.Y. Multiple Dwelling Law § 79.〕 * must not be infested with vermin, such as mice, roaches, termites, mold,〔(Mold in condominium: Negligent maintenance: Breach of warranty of habitability: Settlement: Verdict | Law Reporter | Find Articles at BNET.com )〕 etc. * requires the landlord to stop other tenants from making too much noise (as measured by the decibel scale), second-hand smoke,〔()〕 or from selling narcotics * must provide potable water * each jurisdiction may have various rules.〔(Pennsylvania )〕〔(generally, United States )〕〔(California )〕〔(District of Columbia )〕〔(Vermont (form). )〕〔(TITLE 10.COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Part 7.
