Habitability

Explanation:

When someone becomes a landlord, they are taking on a lot of responsibilities when it comes to the law. This is due to the fact that a tenant should be able to hold a landlord accountable. One of the most important duties that a tenant needs to fulfill is that of providing a livable, safe, clean place to live. This is called "warranty of habitability." This includes the public areas of the building a tenant is renting. In this case, Chester's landlord is breaching Chester's right to habitability by not ensuring that the place is clean and safe to live in.
