Landlord responsibilities and Legalities

[Christian Petrozza]

I am attempting to rent a house and am currently in negotiations with the landlord. The house is newly on the market, and as I went inside, I realized the flip wasn't completed. Two rooms and one hallway still need drywall mud sanded, painted, then cleaned up due to all the dust. There is drywall mud dust around the entire house and these particulates really make it hard to breathe. My question is there anything legally stopping a landlord from renting out a house that is in such condition?

Thanks,

Christian

Most states have what is called the implied warranty of habitability that is implied in every residential lease.  Google the phrase to find out if it exists and/or how it works where you live.
