Reste Realty Corporation, a Corporation of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Joy M. Cooper, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the landlord breached an implied warranty of habitability and the covenant of quiet enjoyment by allowing recurrent flooding, that the tenant was constructively evicted, and that the tenant did not waive that right; therefore the trial court judgment in favor of the tenant was reinstated and the appellate division's reversal was reversed.
