noncompliance by the landlord with the rental agreement or a noncompliance
with KRS 383.595 materially affecting health and safety, the tenant may deliver
a written notice to the landlord specifying the acts and omissions constituting
the breach and that the rental agreement will terminate upon a date not less
than thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice if the breach is not remedied in
fourteen (14) days, and the rental agreement shall terminate as provided in the
notice subject to the following:
(a) If the breach is remediable by repairs, the payment of damages or
otherwise and the landlord adequately remedies the breach before the
date specified in the notice, the rental agreement shall not terminate by
reason of the breach.
(b) If substantially the same act or omission which constituted a prior
noncompliance covered by subsection (1) of which notice was given
recurs within six (6) months, the tenant may terminate the rental
agreement upon at least fourteen (14) days' written notice specifying the
breach and the date of termination of the rental agreement.
(c) The tenant may not terminate for a condition caused by the deliberate or
negligent act or omission of the tenant, a member of his family, or other
person on the premises with his consent.
Except as provided in KRS 383.505 to 383.715, the tenant may recover
damages and obtain injunctive relief for any noncompliance by the landlord
with the rental agreement of KRS 383.595.
The remedy provided in subsection (2) is in addition to any right of the tenant
arising under subsection (1) of this section.
