‘Stop paying rent’ is just an invitation to eviction anyway, and possibly bad credit. You don’t say what the other two upgrades are, but if it’s cheaper to make the upgrades yourself than it is to move, you might consider that. But if you do you should get a five-year lease minimum. Year to year is too much of an unknown. Best to talk to a lawyer – if the owner leased you property knowing it had limited use you might have some grounds for a suit.
