I would hold that the Attorney General had authority to bring this action for violations of the Consumer Protection Act. Defendant Schwab's leasing of submarginal housing on an "as is" basis and exempting himself from providing repairs or landlord services is unlawful and contrary to public policy of providing decent, safe and sanitary housing. This holding is in accord with the overwhelming weight of authority in both federal law and the decisions of sister jurisdictions and comports with both the purpose and intent of the Residential Landlord-Tenant Act of 1973 and the Consumer Protection Act. Williams, C.J., concurs with Dore, J. Reconsideration denied March 5, 1985. --- 010combined ---
