“General Statutes § 47a-7 sets forth the responsibilities of a landlord to his tenants. As well as complying with all applicable building and housing codes of the state or any political subdivision thereof, a landlord is mandated to make all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the premises in a fit and habitable condition. General Statutes § 47a-7 (a) (2). The remedies available to a tenant in the event of the landlord’s dereliction of these statutoiy duties are various: the tenant may withhold his rental payment, § 47a-4a ... or the tenant may interpose the landlord’s noncompliance as a defense in a summary process action, [General Statutes] §§ 47a-20 and 47a-33.
