Larry owns an apartment building in which Moe rents an apartment on the 31st floor. One day, the elevator in the building breaks and Larry refuses to fix it. Moe complains about the broken elevator consistently, but he continues to live in the apartment, and uses the stairs whenever he wants to get up and down to or from his apartment. Finally, Moe stops paying rent. When Larry sues for the rent, Moe claims that Larry has constructively evicted him. Is Moe correct? Yes, because Larry has violated the implied warranty of habitability Yes, because the broken elevator represents a substantial interference with Moe’s use and enjoyment of the apartment No, because Moe has not actually left the premises No, because the elevator is in a common area, and not in Moe’s apartment

Larry owns an apartment building in which Moe rents an apartment on the 31st floor. One day, the elevator in the building breaks and Larry refuses to fix it. Under the housing code in Larry’s state, a landlord must keep the elevators working properly in any building more than 5 stories tall. Moe complains to the local zoning board about the broken elevator. Larry promptly evicts Moe after giving him proper notice and allowing the notice requirement time period to elapse. Does Moe have an action against Larry for wrongful eviction? Yes, because a tenant cannot be evicted as retaliation for reporting a housing code violation No, because it is impossible to prove what Larry had in mind when he evicted Moe No, because a landlord has the right to decide to whom he wants to rent his apartments
