Syllabus

1.Landlord and Tenant—Repairs. The articles 2693 and 2694 Oiv. Code, are pertinent and govern, and not article 2695, touching guaranties of lessor against vices and defects. 2. Same. The repairs were ordinary and were within the terms of the former articles. 3. Same—Personal Injuries. There was in consequence no cause of action for asserted personal injury caused by a falling shutter owing to a defective window hinge. [Ed. Note.—Eor cases in point, see vol. 32, Cent. Dig. Landlord and Tenant, §§ 630, 631.] 4. Same. The head of the family represents the family. If he, a tenant, is without a right of action because of his failure to make the repairs, although he had the right to make them, the members of the family occupying the dwelling are equally as concluded. (Syllabus by the Court.)
