The tenant paid $630 in monthly rent to Sycamore. Upon learning of the lead problem, the tenant withheld one-half the rent for December, 1991 and all of the rent for January and February of 1992 for a total of $1,575. As a result, on February 18, 1992, Sycamore filed with the Board an application for a certificate of eviction claiming that the tenant had failed to pay rent to which Sycamore was entitled. In response, the tenant claimed that he was entitled to an abatement of rent because of the presence of lead paint.
