(2) No major work on water, sewer, or electrical systems may be performed under this section.

(3) The leaseholder shall provide the owner with written notice of the cost of the repair or service when the cost is deducted from the rent.

(4) The leaseholder shall be responsible for any damage caused by the repair or attempts to repair.

(b) The remedies under this section are not available to a leaseholder if the noncompliance was caused by the negligent or deliberate act or omission of the leaseholder or a person on the premises with the leaseholder's consent.
