Best Answer

If the repairs needed are essential for living in the house you must give the landlord at least seven days of notice before the rent is due that you will be making the repairs and offsetting the rent. Your landlord could still evict you but if the repairs were essential you will win. If the repairs are non-essential you can choose not to renew the lease. If the essential repairs are expensive you can choose to break the lease and move out, and get your deposit back.
