83 Wash. 2d 22, 34 (1973). Under the formula applied by the judge, a rental of defective premises would be tantamount to a waiver of the statutory provisions for enforcement of the State Sanitary Code and the landlord’s implied obligation to let and maintain the premises in a habitable condition. Such an agreement would be against public policy and void (G. L. c. Ill, § 127K, inserted by St. 1968, c. 404, § 2) and would violate the interdiction against waiver of an implied warranty of habitability (at least insofar as it is based on the State Sanitary Code and local health regulations). Hemingway case, supra, at 199. See Foisy v. Wyman, 83 Wash. 2d 22, 28-30 (1973).
