The issue thus raised is whether § 47a-4 (c) permits a tenant to live rent-free during the time when violations under § 47a-7 (a) exist. The landlord further argues (1) that § 47a-4 (e) does not relieve ■the tenant from paying rent because it was not intended to change the common law that covenants to repair are independent of the covenant to pay rent and (2) that § 47a-4 (c) was intended merely as a prohibition against the insertion of a waiver of the landlord’s duty to repair in the rental agreement.
