spray some sugar water around the walls and ceiling and close the bitch up for a few days. The toxic mold that will grow with the quickness should make it uninhabitable.

I’d tell him to frick off. No judge in the 14th JDC would be caught dead giving a verdict in favor of a landlord trying to collect rent a week after Laura ripped your place to live up. They would literally look for any excuse not to rule in your landlord’s favor.

Implied force majeure.

No water makes a property uninhabitable.
So if you want to break a lease with a place with no water, then you can.
If you are a property owner with no water, then you can't enforce the lease.
It depends on the structure and the area, but it can be as short as 48 hours with no water for it to be considered uninhabitable.

I was told by the adjuster that not having electricity or running water does not determine whether it is habitable.
I own a rental property that was damaged by a tornado in 2015. A tree fell on the power line and pulled the electric meter off the house. That was the only damage to the house. I did not charge rent for the 7 days the renter did not have electricity. State Farm paid me for the 7 days of lost rent no questions asked.

No, you have the right to withhold rent if the property is uninhabitable. Any court in this state will take your side.
