CA: Landlord Responsibility for Power Outages by Utility
Hello folks,
With the recent spat of PG&E state-wide power outages, I was wondering if the landlord has any responsibility regarding a utility caused power outage? For example, are there any state laws that are applicable? Can the tenant ask for a rent discount, legally? Let's assume that state-wide preemptive power outages are not specified in the lease.
