(IV) If a tenant wrongfully deducts a rental payment by not substantially
complying with the requirements of this subsection (1)(c), a landlord may pursue

equal to double the amount of money unlawfully deducted.

jurisdiction, a landlord's breach of the warranty of habitability as described in
section 38-12-503 and the tenant may recover actual damages directly arising from
the breach of the warranty of habitability, which shall include any reduction in the
fair rental value of the dwelling unit during any period that the residential premises
were uninhabitable pursuant to subsection (3) of this section. A tenant may also
recover court costs, reasonable attorney fees, punitive damages, and any other
damages as ordered by the court.
(e) (I) A tenant may obtain preliminary or permanent injunctive relief for
breach of the warranty of habitability, including an order for specific performance,

relief or specific performance is ordered, the court's jurisdiction continues over the
matter for the purpose of ensuring compliance with the order. An order requiring
injunctive relief or specific performance may include:
(A) An order to remedy any existing violations of this part 5, including relief
to any similarly situated tenants who are reasonably likely to be affected by the
condition as described in section 38-12-503 or by other violations of this part 5;
