*141Abstract of the Decision.
Landlord and tenant, § 279 * — when tenant is not warranted in vacating premises because of failure of landlord to properly heat. Even though a lease did contain a provision whereby the lessor of an apartment was bound to furnish heat for the premises, the lessee was not warranted in vacating them where the only complaints made were relative to the heating during the previous winter and he had continued in possession and paid rent until the next succeeding October.
