Whenever default is made by an owner of any premises in the execution of any work required under this Act or the regulations to be executed by him, an occupier of the premises may, with the approval of the Director, cause the work to be executed.

The expense of the work executed under subsection (1) shall be paid to the occupier by the owner of the premises or the amount may be deducted out of the rent from time to time becoming due from him to the owner, and the occupier may, in the absence of any special agreement to the contrary, retain possession until that expense has been fully reimbursed to him.
