warranty against defects
This is the legal wording of such warranty.
The llessor holds a warranty against all types of defects, hidden or not and is transmitting it to the lessee.
It would be advisable to give us more context about the legal environment in which this contract (it seems to be a commercial lease) is drafted and executed. Then we could look up the relevant legislation to see what expression is used in that legal system.

warranty bond
warranty bond that requires developers to lodge a bank guarantee or cash as security against construction related defects, faults and damage...
Warranty will commence from the date of issue acceptance certificate by NDMA. The warranty for all the items will be for a period of 36 months. The vendor shall be liable to repair or replace any defective part in the equipment/installation during the warranty period. Warranty would entail that the vendor will attend to all faults and rectify the same on site within 24 hours of informing the vendor (excluding travelling time of all sites), if not attended in within four weeks, it will be repaired at vendors cost from third party. If payment is not made for the works carried out by third party, the warranty bond would be encashed and vendor will be blacklisted.
A Maintenance (Warranty) Bond, while not normally required, can sometimes be required by the owner of a construction project. It provides coverage for defective workmanship or faulty materials discovered after the project has been completed.

: This is between landlord and tenant and there is nothing at all in the question to suggest that any kind of bond is involved. The point I disagee on is "bond", not "warranty". A bond is issued by a bank or insurance company and protects against contra

guarantee against defects
The guarantee against defects is a requirement under the Civil Code (can be a guarantee against apparent/obvious defects or may be a guarantee against hidden defects -all depends on the terms of the agreement)

: I don't understand. This answer was given much earlier by another Answerer. I gave it an agree. System seems to be bugged. fwiw-hidden defects are vice cachées.

(latent) defects guarantee
"Latent" is often tagged onto the beginning of this because the guarantee is against defects that exist at the time of handover but are not apparent. It may seem a bit unnecessary, as any defects that are apparent already should have been spotted and mentioned specifically. However, the addition of "latent" does make it clear that defects already identified would have been taken into account in the financial arrangements or accepted by the tenant.

In answer to Michèle, "vices cachés" is not "tous les vices qui sont concernés".
'Cette notion de vice caché est définie par l'article 1641 du Code Civil comme " des défauts cachés de la chose vendue qui la rendent impropre à l'usage auquel on la destine, ou qui diminuent tellement cet usage, que l'acheteur ne l'aurait pas acquise, ou n'en aurait donné qu'un moindre prix, s'il les avait connus ". Ainsi, pour être qualifié de "vice caché", le défaut affectant le bien doit avoir existé antérieurement à la vente et être de nature à échapper à un novice.
'L'acquéreur particulier bénéficie ici d'une présomption : on présume qu'il est novice en la matière et qu'il n'était pas en mesure de détecter un défaut important de l'ouvrage ou d'évaluer sa gravité.
Notez que si le contrat de vente comportait une clause exonérant le vendeur de sa responsabilité en cas d'apparition d'un vice, cette clause peut jouer. Il faudra cependant que le vendeur ait ignoré l'existence de ce vice et n'ait pas cherché à le dissimuler à l'acquéreur.'

: latent defects would be vices cachées in French

Yes, that is right; but the same rationale applies. There is no point in having a guarantee agains defects already known. If a defect were known to the landlord but hidden from the tenant, that would not be a "vice caché".

Michèle Voyer
: If no mention is made of "vice cachés", why introduce it in English. Vice cachés est général, c'est tous les vices qui sont concernés de toute façon. Des règles particulières s'appliquent souvent aux différents types de vices suivant le syst. jur.concerné

See definition in my note above. Any such guarantee must be for latent defects by a process of elimination: one doesn't guarantee against something both parties know about and if the sellor or lessor knows about but hides it, that's deception.

(US/land) covenant of fitness {of premises}; (UK/sale of goods) warranty of fitness for the purpose
Fitness of land means in good repair and *no defects*.
There is a distinction in the US, Can & UK between a covenant of *land* - so called because, referring to land, it needs to be contained in a deed but can also be statutory, contractual or implied. Warranty refers to goods = chattels.
The other answerers have not picked up on this distinction, though a discussion of why this is not a covenant for further assurance, both in the US and UK, to perfect title would be useful.
PS FHS Bridge's FR/EN entry of a 'warranty that goods or animals sold are free of faults or defects' is just bizarre.

Discussion
Écrit par Cabinet Renaudin Avocats
La vente d'immeubles à construire déroge au droit commun selon lequel “le vendeur n'est pas tenu des vices apparents et dont l'acheteur a pu se convaincre lui-même” (C. civ., art. 1642). L'article 1642-1 du Code civil dispose : “Le vendeur d'un immeuble à construire ne peut être déchargé, ni avant la réception des travaux, ni avant l'expiration d'un délai d'un mois après la prise de possession par l'acquéreur, des vices de construction alors apparents”.
Le vice apparent est celui qu'un profane doit normalement déceler, ce que la jurisprudence apprécie in abstracto (Cass. 2e civ., 19 mai 1958 : JCP G 1958, II, 10808, note Starck. – Malinvaud et Jestaz, op. cit., n° 90). Ce sont “ceux qui peuvent être décelés par un maître de l'ouvrage normalement diligent au moment où a lieu la réception” (Cass. 3e civ., 23 nov. 1976 : Bull. civ. 1976, III, n° 415), sans qu'il ait à s'entourer des conseils d'un homme de l'art (Cass. 3e civ., 3 mai 1989 : Bull. civ. 1989, III, n° 101).
