First of all the word is TENANT. Generally speaking, the answer is no. A landlord cannot control the behavior of his tenant. If the tenant is too loud you have the right to call the police and let them handle the situation.

Generally speaking, you cannot withhold the rent from your landlord because of an annoying condition. If there are maintenance issues with your apartment such issue interferes with your essential living -- for example, your water heater goes out -- then, following your State's landlord and tenant law, you can follow the guidelines to remedy this situation. For example, in Florida, if your water heater goes out and you notify your landlord at least seven days before the rent is due, and the landlord does not fix the water heater, then you can have the water heater replaced yourself, then deducted from the rent.

Nothing. The landlord need only give you the notice required by law (20 days in WA) and then simply move back in.

In that case, the tenant is free to demand compensation of the landlord for the landlord's breaking the lease.
