Can I return the rent if the house leaks?

If the house leaks water, which affects the normal living and use, you can withdraw the rent. The situation in which the parties request to withdraw the lease must be that the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved. If the rented house leaks water, it will seriously affect the realization of the right to use the house, infringe on the rights of the lessee, and the rented house cannot play its role, indicating that the contractual purpose in the house lease contract is difficult to achieve.
