(e) At the time the tenant initially notifies
the landlord under subsection (c), the tenant shall list every condition that
the tenant knows or should know of noncompliance under subsection (c), in
addition to the objectionable condition that the tenant then intends to correct
or have corrected at the landlord's expense. Failure by the tenant to list a
condition that the tenant knew of or should have known of shall estop the
tenant from requiring the landlord to correct it and from having it corrected
at the landlord's expense under this section for a period of six months after
the initial notification to the landlord. Total correction and repair work
costs under this section chargeable to the landlord's expense during each
six-month period shall not exceed an amount equal to three months' rent.
(f) In no event may a tenant repair a dwelling
unit at the landlord's expense when the condition complained of was caused by
the want of due care by the tenant, a member of the tenant's family, or other
person on the premises with the tenant's consent.
(g) Before correcting a condition affecting
facilities shared by more than one dwelling unit, the tenant shall notify all
other tenants sharing the facilities of the tenant's plans, and shall arrange
the work to create the least practicable inconvenience to the other tenants.
(h) For the purposes of this section,
"health or safety violation" means any condition on the premises that
is in noncompliance with section 521-42(a)(1). [L 1972, c 132, pt of §1; am L
