5. For a residential tenancy, comply with any local housing code applicable to
the premises.
(b) If the premises are part of a building, other parts of which are occupied

not relieve the landlord from the landlord's duty as to the other tenants to
make repairs as provided in par. (a).

the prospective tenant, any building code or housing code violation to which

prospective rental agreement or a common area of the premises.
3. The violation presents a significant threat to the prospective tenant's
health or safety.

applicable to the premises.
