Tenants in Colorado have the right to a habitable unit, and repairs are to be made by the landlord. If there are any issues with the property that make it uninhabitable, they have the right to withhold rent until the issues are resolved.
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).
An uninhabitable residential property has mold associated with dampness, and does not have working appliances, waterproofing, weather protection, plumbing, gas, running water, adequate hot water, heating, and electrical lighting.
A landlord must prove the amount of the damage to the apartment/house and that it was caused by you or your friends. A landlord cannot keep the security deposit and make you prove that you should get it back. The burden is on the landlord to return the deposit or prove the right to keep it.
Under California law, landlords are required to adhere to the implied warranty of habitability, which ensures that rental properties meet basic health and safety standards. Examples of landlord negligence include: Ignoring critical repairs, such as broken plumbing or faulty electrical systems.
