Repair and deduct explained

Repair and deduct is a principle of landlord–tenant law in the United States regarding a tenant's legal right to repair defects or damages that the landlord has neglected to repair, and then deduct the value of the repair (parts, labor, etc.) from the next rent payment.[1] Within the United States, the availability to tenants of a right to repair and deduct, varies on a state-by-state basis.[2] In the state of California, tenants may exercise the repair and deduct right up to two times in a single 12-month period.[3]
