*358ROBERTS, Justice,
concurring.
I join in the opinion of the majority because the rule established reaches the same result as the Restatement, Second, Property (Landlord and Tenant) Section 5.4 (Unsuitable Condition Arises After Entry — Remedies Available) which states:
Except to the extent the parties to a lease validly agree otherwise, there is a breach of the landlord’s obligation if, after the tenant’s entry and without fault of the tenant, a change in the condition of the leased property . caused suddenly by a nonmanmade force, makes the leased property unsuitable for the use contemplated by the parties and the landlord does not correct the situation within a reasonable time after being requested by the tenant to do so. For that breach, the tenant may:
(1) terminate the lease. .
The unexpressed intent of the parties is thus irrelevant.
