Best Answer

The rent should have already been stopped. The request for repairs should have said that rent payments would be suspended until repairs are made. Depending on how bad the conditions were (or are), the tenant may be entitled to an abatement of rent.

Ideally, the tenant should get the opinion of the local building inspector or board of health, in writing, before they take action.
