Q.What risks does a tenant face by using the Abandonment Remedy?
A.If the defects complained about by the tenant are not deemed serious enough to justify the use of the abandonment remedy or if the notice period given by the tenant to the landlord is deemed too short, the landlord can sue the tenant to collect additional rent and/or damages.
Typically, a tenant would only be liable for an additional month's rent as the landlord is required to mitigate his damages by attempting to re-rent the premises.
