Section 47a-20, supra, is entitled “Betaliatory action by landlord,” and § 47a-33, supra, is designated “Defense that action is retaliatory.” Section 47a-20 is the successor to § 19-375a of the 1975 General Statutes, now repealed, and § 47a-33 succeeds § 52-540a of the 1975 General Statutes, also repealed. Section 19-375a was previously ensconced in chapter 352, the Tenement House Act, and § 52-540a operated under chapter 922, the previous summary process chapter. In an effort to streamline summary process proceedings, both statutes were renumbered and placed under title 47a, the landlord and tenant chapter of the 1979 statutes. It was not a successful effort.
