What happens if the landlord does not correct the noncompliance within the specified time?

When a landlord fails to correct a noncompliance issue within the specified time frame, it creates a significant breach in the tenancy agreement. In this situation, the law often grants the tenant the right to terminate the lease due to the landlord's failure to meet their obligations. This means the tenant is not only justified in ending the rental agreement, but they are also protected from any repercussions that may arise from their decision to do so.

Termination of the lease under these circumstances provides a necessary remedy for the tenant, as they are entitled to live in a property that meets the legal and contractual standards set forth in their lease agreement. The tenant has a right to seek other housing options if the necessary repairs or compliance issues have not been addressed in a timely manner, ensuring their living conditions are safe and habitable.

In contrast, the other options do not align with tenant rights typically upheld in landlord-tenant law. Renewing a lease without resolution of issues would not be logical, and adding additional fees or allowing a landlord to sue a tenant in this context would not reflect procedures intended to protect tenants in cases of noncompliance.
