- If it is not remedied, the landlord may end the agreement and bring a proceeding for possession for the noncompliances the section names.
- Where cleaning, repair or replacement would remedy it, the landlord may do the work and bill the tenant the actual and reasonable cost, payable with the next rent.
- No time to remedy is required where the noncompliance causes or threatens irremediable damage to a person or property.
