§521-69 Landlord's remedies for tenant's
waste, failure to maintain, or unlawful use. (a) If the tenant is in
material noncompliance with section 521-51, the landlord, upon learning of any
such noncompliance and after notifying the tenant in writing of the
noncompliance and allowing a specified time not less than ten days after
receipt of the notice, for the tenant to remedy the noncompliance:
(1) May terminate the rental agreement and bring a
summary proceeding for possession of the dwelling unit or any other proper
proceeding, action, or suit for possession if the tenant is in material
noncompliance with section 521-51(1); or
(2) May remedy the tenant's failure to comply and
bill the tenant for the actual and reasonable cost of such remedy if the
noncompliance can be remedied by the landlord by cleaning, repairing, replacing
a damaged item, or the like, which bill shall be treated by all parties as rent
due and payable on the next regular rent collection date or, if the tenancy has
terminated, immediately upon receipt by the tenant.
No allowance of time to remedy noncompliance shall
be required when noncompliance by the tenant causes or threatens to cause
irremediable damage to any person or property. If the tenant cannot be served
with notice as required, notice may be given the tenant by posting the same in
a conspicuous place on the dwelling unit.
(b) The landlord may terminate the rental
agreement and bring a summary proceeding for possession of the dwelling unit or
any other proper proceeding, action, or suit for possession for any material
noncompliance with section 521-51 by a roomer or boarder if the roomer or
boarder fails to comply within the time specified in the notice.
