GAIN an upper court has decided that unless a landlord keeps an apartment leased by him properly heated when the lease provides for heat, he cannot recover for rent if his tenant abandons the premises as uninhabitable. For the good of thousands of people in New York who spend the winter in flats and apartments a few. decisions like this at the beginning of every cold season should be recorded in letters of gold. In the case in question the tenant testified that last January he had to move from his apartment because the heat was not sufficient for his wife and baby to live there safely. Promises from the landlord infuced him to return, but the month of February. brought, no im- provement. Then the tenant departed for good and refused to pay the rent on the remainder of his lease, which extended to May 1. The landlord sued for the amount and received judgment in the Sev- enth District Municipal Court. The Appellate Term of the Supreme Court now reverses that Judgment and upholds the tenant in breaking the lease. Justice Guy, who wrote the opinion, states clearly Wt was the duty of the landlord to maintain proper heating and hot-water sppliances. The only conclusion that can properly be drawn from the evidence {s that the steam-heating apparatus or plant was utterly inadequate, notwithstanding constint efforts st repair, to supply the heat which the landlord had covenanted to fur- nish. The apparatus being inadequate *© © © tt was his Te emtae eee ee Tee om He cannot avoid the obligation assumed by him under the tease by proving that the apparstus was worthless and that he made ineffectual efforts to render it fit for service. The Judgment must therefore be reversed. ' How many tenants suffer the distomforts and dangers of half- warmed flats rather than face the expense of moving and the uncer- tainty as to their rights in the matter of the lease? It would be well if a few test vases were to define epecifically the obligations of a landlord who has leased an apartment “with heat,” to provide that heat. For example: After -Nov. 15 has the landlord the right to shut off the steam whether the tenant is warm? The landlord or the tenant himeclf? What right hes the landlord under any circumstances to shut off the steam heat at 10 or 11 o’clock in the evening, leaving the tenant _ without heat until 8 or 9 the next morning? Does not @ lease which provides for “heat” mean heat constantly available in cold months? ‘Tenants should be posted as to their rights in these matters. A sense of pride and responsibility for the high standard of their prem- ines impele landlords and agents oftener to over than under heat apart- mente in their change, When the landlord is persistently negligent iu providing s Teasonable amount of heat it should be ‘possible speedily to bring’ him to hip senses. i Cos Cob Nature Notes i m have just’ harvested the fall/by the bushel; peppers of every ‘a Ves riety, from the tiny eee iho ’ Mt to consist of the satisfac-| takes the hair off a cast tory total of 4 yellow pump-|sreat eweet peppers pe eat tke = kins, By actual test each/ apple; ducks from t! pumpkin is good for six ples, whicn|ago won a place for th makes a total of 40 ples for the out t—|every frst class bill of fare; asparagus, @ pleasing prospect, with Thankegiving |the equal of which ts not known any- ‘vat two weeks away.
