A [[Rental Unit]] or home with serious health or safety defects. Cosmetic preferences are not the test.
## Working notes
[[Cal. Civ. Code § 1941.1]] lists important rental standards. [[Warranty of Habitability]] concerns the landlord’s duty. Tenant remedies have additional requirements.
For custody, [[Cal. Fam. Code § 3011]] focuses on the child’s actual safety and welfare. Describe the hazard, the affected space, and protective steps; do not equate inexpensive housing with unsafe parenting.
[[Habitable]] describes fitness for living, not luxury or appearance.
> [!tip] Example
> A safe temporary sleeping space during roof repairs may matter more than a broad label about the whole home.
