California law's implied warranty of habitability requires landlords to maintain premises that are fit for human occupation. Failure to do so can lead to major liability and insurance exclusions. With habitability verdicts reaching new highs and insurance carriers scaling back on coverage, it’s never been more critical to understand the risks and your responsibilities.
Join real estate attorney Stephen Raucher, Esq., for a deep dive into the legal and insurance complexities of habitability claims. He’ll walk you through how to mitigate exposure, what to expect in court, and how to protect yourself in today’s high-risk environment.
During the Webinar, We Will Cover:
- What constitutes a habitability claim and how to respond when notified of one
- Understanding “habitability exclusions” in insurance policies
- Impact of exclusions related to mold, vermin, bedbugs, and others
- Defining “unlivable” conditions under California law
- How to reduce your risk and protect against litigation
- Q&A with the speaker to discuss your real-world concerns
This live, interactive Zoom session includes Q&A throughout. For more information, contact Diana Alcaraz at diana@aagla.org.
