Complete all repairs before filing for UD?

[Christy Miller]

We have made a huge mistake but long story short... he’s a “professional tenant” and knows the system pretty well. We served a 3 day notice and ready to let the attorney file UD. Then tenant claimed heater broke down. Repair might take some time maybe weeks as they need to order parts. Attorney wants to wait until everything’s fixed in order to stay away from the “uninhabitable” claim before he’s willing to file UD. I’m pretty sure something else is coming up after the heater’s fixed and it’ll be non stopping, also it’s getting warmer in north cal. Is it a really bad idea to carry out UD process when there’s outstanding repairs going on?
