(b) A tenant who decides to have radon mitigation performed shall have the radon mitigation system installed by a radon contractor and shall have the lessor’s express consent prior to undertaking any mitigation activities. If the tenant receives express consent from the lessor, the tenant may deduct the cost of installation of the radon mitigation system from tenant’s rent. This deduction shall be divided in equal parts for the remainder of the leasing period.

An itemized statement must be provided to the tenant if any part of the security deposit is withheld.
