    No the tenant can not refuse to pay rent for the minor fixations as long as there is some special clause in the agreement. He has to pay the rents otherwise.

    No! Tenant cannot withhold rent. If landlord refuses to repair, fix it yourself,...as you say; minor. Pay the rent less your cost of material attach receipt showing cost of material. Otherwise, if you are incapable or refuse to do minor repair just because property is not yours, call repairmain to do it, but notify landlord first before you take this action. Still pay rent less invoice showing cost of repair.
