Re: rent

No. You need to give your landlord written notice of the needed repair, and your intent to terminate the lease. If the repair is not made within 30 days, you can go to the local housing court and start a rent deposit if the landlord has 4 or more rental units, or you can terminate the lease. You can also file a complaint with the housing court seeking an order by the court to the landlord to repair or replace the stove.
