What are the landlord's maintenance obligations?

The landlord is required to keep the rental premises in a good state of repair and fit for habitation, and must comply with all health, safety, and housing standards required by law. This obligation applies regardless of whether the tenant was aware of any issues at the time of entering the lease.
