I had to throw out the food in my freezer and the owner refused to cover the food.

Plus I just love the Mexican food east of 45 and I need an excuse to get over there.

(I argue Downtown Detroit is underrated in the food category) 

I am curious if I am understanding the only way a tenant in Texas has a right to withhold rent is if there is an amicable agreement between tenant and landlord or if the landlord fails to remedy a problem with the house that impacts the the safety and health of the tenants.I am trying to keep things simple and not complicated on this question. :)

Most cities would likely be best off with limited restrictions (limiting enforcement time & costs) other than enforcing any already existing health and safety laws.

They provide housing, food, transportation, etc. 

@Edison ReisHomeowners are allowed to cultivate up to 4-plant, what Tenants are allowed to do will depend, to some degree, on what amendments / interpretation of the Residential Tenancies Act in your province.We updated our leases over a year ago to add cannabis to our prohibition on cultivation of any crops (food, tobacco, cannabis or commercial) within buildings.
