What can a tenant hold rent for?

[Michael Salamone]

Hey all,

So recently I had a sewer line back up causing a mess in the tenants side. Long story short, they decided to withhold their rent until they felt this situation was remedied (long story short this issue has been cleaned and closed)

My question is, I didn’t know that tenants could withhold rent for certain issues. So, what are some other circumstances that would allow a tenant to withhold rent?

Best,

Michael
