This depends on what area of the kitchen needs repair but it's safe to say that just about every area of the kitchen is essential for living in your rental unit. If your landlord does not fix your kitchen, and the area of the kitchen is essential for habitability of your home, you have a couple options: if you send your landlord a notice of at least seven days before the next rent due stating such, you can have a kitchen repaired yourself and offset it from the rent. If you do this, keep in mind that your landlord could still file eviction proceedings against you, even if he knows he's going to lose. But if he does lose you can countersue for damages of up to three months of rent abatement. The second option is to move out of your unit under the constructive eviction rule.

What happens if a landlord fails 3rd section 8 inspection?

Each Housing Authority has the right to handle such failure of inspection according to what it sees best. If the failures are relatively minor, the landlord will be given time to fix it. If the landlord fails to fix it within a given amount of time, it is a severe failure, or it is a repeated failure, the housing authority has the right to fail the inspection and assist the tenant in locating another property. If the tenant has not occupied the failed property yet, the Housing Authority will deny the applicant the ability to move there.
