I rent an apt in Los Angeles, the city just inspected the building and skipped my apt. due to my dogs. the hard wood floors are loose and missing boards. also a section is missing and replaced with plywood due to a water leak from a faulty toilet. I think they should replace it to original hardwood, do they have to? My plan is to call city housing and ask for a anonymous inspection. anything else?? I sublet into this apt and now have my own lease, but the landlord says i took the apt "as is".
He does not have to replace to original hardwood, but you need some sort of flooring. Plywood is legaly flooring.
If your dogs damaged the floor, and dogs will damage wood floors, then you would be the one to replace the floor, not the owner.

They are not YOUR hardwood floors they belong to the building owner. You might ask that they be repaired or replaced for a variety of reasons…but the owner may choose to replace the faulty area with any product THEY choose…
maybe you could put a rug over it, or move.
