It is clear from the language of this section that a landlord is prohibited from requiring a tenant, at the tenant’s expense, to restore existing properties to present code requirements. It is equally clear that the landlord may shift the responsibility for performing ordinary specified repairs and maintenance of the rented dwelling premises to the tenant, provided that the parties act in good faith; the parties agree in writing; the agreement is supported by adequate consideration; and the agreement is not in violation of § 34-18-22(c)(2).
