. In such cases, a defendant may raise the issue of breach of implied warranty of habitability in response to the landlord’s action, after which the rent is typically deposited into escrow while the fair rental value is litigated. See 14 M.R.S.A. § 6002(3) (2003); 14 M.R.S.A. § 6008(2)(A). Alternatively, tenants may raise the issue of nonhabitability in accordance with their own independent legal action pursuant to 14 M.R.S.A. § 6021(3) (2003).
