The ownership or management shall be liable only for actual damages sustained by a homeowner or resident for violation of this section.

“Emergency,” for purposes of this section, means the interruption of utility service resulting from an accident or act of nature, or cessation of service caused by other than the management’s regular or planned maintenance, repair, or replacement of utility facilities.
