Check your state's landlord tenant laws. In some states the tenant is liable if they were aware of a problem and did not report it to the landlord, did nothing to prevent the problem or if they are responsible for causing the problem.

Can a landlord refuse repairs if rent is delinquent?

not in any state. To get repairs, the tenant needs to give the LL 30 days to make any repairs. If not done, the tenant is to call licensed contractors who do the kinds of work done that the tenant needs done. THE tenant pays the contractor and gets a receipt. The tenant gives a copy of the receipt and any remaining rent [gross rent minus that amount paid for repairs] due to the landlord.

You can countersue for eviction and keep the security deposit if the tenant has not followed proper procedures for notifying you, the landlord, of repairs that are needed. Generally locks may not be changed by the landlord or tenant without the other's permission and the reconciliation of the keys to the new lock. But this must be so stated on the lease in order for it to be enforced.

What are the key provisions of the Tenant Right to Repair Act and how does it protect tenants' rights in ensuring timely repairs and maintenance in rental properties?

The Tenant Right to Repair Act allows tenants to request repairs in writing and gives landlords a reasonable amount of time to make the repairs. If the landlord fails to do so, the tenant can hire a licensed professional to make the repairs and deduct the cost from their rent. This law helps ensure that rental properties are properly maintained and that tenants' living conditions are safe and habitable.


Is the landlord or tenant responsible for plumbing damage?

Otherwise, the tenant is responsible for paying for the repairs, but it is the landlord/homeowner who must get the repairs done (they then pass the bill on).
