Rent Abatement is a legal remedy that may allow tenants to receive a temporary reduction in rent when a landlord fails to maintain safe and habitable living conditions. Issues such as lack of heat, water leaks, pest infestations, or significant repairs can affect a tenant’s quality of life and may justify rent relief. Understanding how rent abatement works can help tenants protect their rights while encouraging landlords to address serious property concerns. Proper documentation and legal guidance are often key to a successful rent abatement claim. https://www.outerbridgelaw.com/blog/understanding-rent-abatement-a-tenants-guide-to-legal-relief/
