Plaintiff is correct, however, that there was no basis on the record to deny his claim for rent from June 17 to September 30, 1986. Defendants remained on the premises during this period, after the sewer line repair had been completed. None of defendants’ theories apply to this period of occupancy. The violation of the implied warranty of habitability was addressed by the forgiveness of rent for February, March, April, and May, 1986, and the court awarded damages for the retaliatory eviction, the loss of food, and the discomfort and distress associated with the lockout from the barn.
