State, 16 Conn. App. 65, 70, 546 A.2d 940 (1988); we are also bound by our duty to *448“ ‘avoid a consequence which fails to attain a rational and sensible result which bears most directly on the object which the legislature sought to obtain.’ ” Dukes v. Durante, 192 Conn. 207, 214, 471 A.2d 1368 (1984), quoting La Providenza v. State Employees Retirement Commission, 178 Conn. 23, 29, 420 A.2d 905 (1979). We do not believe that a literal definition of the word “repairs,” as urged by the defendants, yields a “rational and sensible result” when viewed in context with the other statutory provisions of our landlord and tenant law embodied in title 47a of the General Statutes.
