REP. DAVENPORT: I have to say on the issues of repair and deduction and rent withholding I have somewhat ambivalent feelings. On the one hand the same feelings that I had about the security deposit that it is important to have a process that people know about and understand about and somehow if you put that in statute that’s somehow easier for people to get at and have access to then it’s in the ease law, which was Anne’s point about people now they hear about [Hilder v. St. Peter] and they think it is something they could apply to their situation but they don’t have access to this case. The notice provision isn’t something they know about. *310So, that’s one of the reasons why it seemed to me initially when we were drafting this bill that there was a real value to putting some of this- into statute. My feeling on the other hand is that putting it into statute does make this bill very long and does make it very cumbersome. And, that there may also be value to leave it alone in the case law having a finding that we are not dealing with that one way or the other— Id. at 43.
