In order for the tenant to withhold rent, the defects or repairs that are needed must be more serious than would justify use of the Repair and Deduct and Abandonment remedies. The defects must be substantial and threaten the tenants health or safety. For example: Collapse and non-repair of the bathroom ceiling.
California: In California, landlords are generally required to address repairs within 30 days for non-emergency issues. Emergency repairs, such as broken heating systems during cold weather, must be handled immediately​ (TurboTax Support).
