论房东对租赁住宅的适住性担保责任

On house owner's guarantee responsibility on renting house's living appropriation

在英美等国住宅立法要求房东承担的众多义务中,最重要的当属适住性担保义务。法律对房东责任的规定保证了承租人拥有一个安全、舒适、健康的居住环境。我国住宅租赁立法中对适住性担保的规定存在诸多不足,为了改变当前住宅租赁中"群租"、"蜗居"等乱象,保障承租人住宅权的实现,应当尽快完善相关立法,明确房东对租赁住宅的适住性担保责任。

The housing laws in U.S.and U.K.provide that landlords have the duties to furnish security for the habtitablity of the rental premises.This measure ensured that tenants get healthy,sanitary and secure housing.In order to change the social phenomenon known as ＂group-oriented leasing＂ or ＂humble abode＂ and to safeguard the tenants＇ housing rights,we must improve the housing legislation and clearly define the landlords＇ responsibilities.
