It'd be nice if anywhere would link to the actual legal fillings ... The previous article was saying that she had to pay the market rate and she considered the market rate for an unoccupaniable unit as 0$. That should fail in court imo; plenty of people rent storage spaces that are unoccupiable and those have costs > 0. I guess the 0$ is pretty critical to her side as you generally can't legal _not pay rent_. You can put the money into escrow (i.e. LA's REAP [1]) if the property is in violation of a housing ordinance.
