Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>It is the well settled rule of law in this 'State, that where the lessor fails. to make the repairs needed to maintain the premises in good condition, the tenant may make such repairs himself, deducting the cost thereof from the rent; and failing to do so, he cannot claim consequential damages from the lessor. The lessee who would- escape this rule must aver and show that the cost of such repairs would have exceeded the amount due and to become due under the lease.</p>
