Renovation is the liability of the owner. You have not mentioned your State which is relevant to tel the particular section of Rent Act which is altogether different in almost all States.

Generally in all state's passed rent control Acts,duty to keep building wind and leak proof is upon the land lord unless the tenancy agreement speaks other wise.
Alterations so as to de shape or de valuate the existing building are not allowed to be carried out by the tenant without prior permission of the owner/landlord.
Those alterations which enhances the value of building,even if carried without prior permission of land lord, does not afford ground of eviction.
Obligations that are to be discharged by land lord can be got enforced through court
in mode and manner provided for in the very legislation of a particular state or under contract of tenancy as the case may be.
Query is mum about state in which the right is sought to be enforced.
