I'm not sure if they are in Canada. However, I do know that the landlord has to take care of the properties he rents out. If it is in their lease that he has to fix/maintain/has certain duties to either the tenants or the property itself, then he just violated the lease. In which case he can get into trouble.

Also, if you have an attitude like that you might end up losing more tenants then attracting in the long run.
