Tenant's Claim for Lease Rescission Based on Known Structural Defect Fails

A tenant, alleging a breach of the implied warranty of habitability, sought the rescission of a lease and damages from the landlord after discovering a serious structural defect that rendered the rented property partially unusable, despite the landlord's prior assurances regarding the property's condition. The court rejected the tenant's appeal, reasoning that while the landlord is indeed obligated to deliver a property fit for its intended use, the tenant had been aware of the existing defect at the time of signing the lease, thus implicitly accepting the property in its condition at that moment and forfeiting the right to later claim rescission based on that known defect.
