    Hello T:

    Sure. Why hold it if the problem is fixed?

    Are you putting that rent into an escrow account? You can't just stop paying rent because of a repair issue. The landlord can charge you late fees and evict you for doing so.

    So yes, if you are withholding rent because of a repair problem, as soon as the problem is fixed you should turn over the withheld amounts.
