That completely depends on the contract you signed with them.
First you need to determine if you have the legal right to terminate the contractor as per the contract. Generally one of the three conditions have to be met: the contractor is court ordered into bankruptcy, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors due to contractors insolvency, or a court appoints a receiver to the contractor
Secondly, the contractor is entitled to receive funds for the work he has reasonably completed to date.
I would get advise from a lawyer before the contractor slaps a lien on the property and before you know it there is a legal demand before the courts to have your house sold to pay the unpaid invoice
A workmanship warranty guarantees the contractor's "work" performed, not the materials. Usually there is a certain amount of time given that the contractor will guarantee his/her work for.
The quality of the "building work" or of the quality of the construction falls on the contractor for the project. The contractor might be the "project manager" (a general contractor) who hires all the other work done and insures all the contractors do their parts per the architectural requirements and the building codes. On smaller projects, the contractor might do all of the work himself. Or most of it, hiring out the rest and overseeing it. Large projects include engineers of all "flavors" who are supplied by the general contractor and also the subcontractors in the various specialty areas. But someone has to have the point and make the final decisions regarding the work and its quality, and the general or prime contractor has that task.
If you can, find a solution and then talk to him about payment for the solution. Then, have him sign permission to charge the cost against your rent. Withholding rent rarely works in the tenant's favor. If the solution cannot be handled face-to-face, check on your local landlord/tenant laws.

A subcontractor can turn to Construction or mechanics lien law in order to secure payment. By being lien law compliant, meeting specific requirements such as preliminary notices and within time restrictions, a subcontractor can withhold payments to the primary contractor or lien the property. Lien laws are state specific and you should check your state's statutes for the requirements and restrictions. Property owners can protect themselves from these liens by requesting waivers or releases from all subcontracts and the primary contractor for each payment as well as a Contractor's Affidavit at the end of the job in exchange for the final payment.

Yes, you generally have to pay your contractor for completed work, even if it is subpar. However, you may have grounds to withhold payment or seek a reduction if the work does not meet the standards outlined in your contract.
