The rental agreement shall terminate and the mobile home space shall be vacated as provided in the notice subject to the following:

  a.  If the breach is remediable by repairs or the payment of damages or otherwise and the landlord adequately remedies the breach prior to the date specified in the notice, the rental agreement will not terminate.

  b.  The tenant may not terminate for a condition caused by the deliberate or negligent act or omission of the tenant, a member of the tenant’s family or other person in the manufactured home community or mobile home park with the tenant’s consent.

  2.  Except as provided in this chapter, the tenant may recover damages, and obtain injunctive relief for any noncompliance by the landlord with the rental agreement or with section 562B.16.
