Synopsis
In a dispute over the use of a terrace, the tenant alleged breach of lease due to the landlord's failure to maintain the premises. Court found issues of fact regarding whether the disputed area was part of the demised premises, denying summary judgment on that ground. However, the tenant's claims for breach of warranty of habitability and negligence were dismissed due to lack of standing and failure to establish actionable harm under applicable law.
