Does the lease terminate if the landlord breaches the lease?

If the lease does not provide for forfeiture of the landlord's rights because of the landlord's breach of the lease, then the tenant has no right to terminate the lease or abandon the unit before the expiration of the lease, even if the landlord breaches the lease. However, if the breach of the lease by the landlord renders the unit unfit for occupancy or deprives the tenant of the beneficial enjoyment of the unit, then the tenant may be justified in abandoning the unit without further liability to the landlord. The tenant can also sue the landlord for damages resulting from the landlord's failure to live up to the terms of the lease.
