Which of the following is a part of a manager's responsibility for implied warranty of habitability?

  1. Providing on-site recreational facilities

  2. Maintaining roofs, windows, and walls

  3. Offering internet services to tenants

  4. Decorating common areas

The correct answer is: Maintaining roofs, windows, and walls

A manager's responsibility for the implied warranty of habitability includes maintaining essential elements of the property that ensure a safe and livable environment for tenants. One key aspect of this is the structural integrity of the building, which encompasses maintaining roofs, windows, and walls. These components are vital for protecting tenants from the elements, ensuring adequate security, and creating a safe living space. If any of these structural features are compromised, it could lead to significant problems, such as leaks, pest infestations, or safety hazards, which would violate the warranty of habitability. This legal concept obligates landlords and property managers to provide and maintain livable, safe, and sanitary housing, making the maintenance of roofs, windows, and walls a crucial aspect of their responsibilities. Providing on-site recreational facilities, offering internet services to tenants, and decorating common areas, while important for enhancing residents’ quality of life, do not fall under the minimum standards required for habitability and thus are not part of a manager's obligations in that sense.
