BGive notice and arrange for repair, deducting costs from rent (repair-and-deduct), or terminate the tenancy✓ Correct
CMove out immediately without notice
DSue the landlord for triple damages automatically
Explanation
A failed heating system in winter is a serious habitability issue. Oregon ORLTA allows tenants to give written notice, allow a reasonable repair period, and if not repaired, use the repair-and-deduct remedy or terminate the rental agreement due to the habitability failure.
