A residential property considered “substandard” under the California Housing Law does not affect a tenancy. Here, the enforcing agency posted a code enforcement notice, or “redtag”-requiring that the property be vacated due to its substandard condition. The Court of Appeal held that the tenancy survives the red-tagging and the lease is not terminated.
