Tenants provided with a right to repair violations in a residential rental unit, notice required, and tenant permitted to make deductions from rent.

Summary

The bill lets renters hire contractors to fix violations in their rental unit and either subtract the repair cost from future rent (limited to two months’ rent per year) or be reimbursed by the landlord. It requires written and electronic notice, a 14‑day waiting period, and a process for the landlord to dispute the repair. It also prohibits landlords from retaliating against tenants who use these rights.
