We hold that, in this case and going forward, tenants have a common-law defense to landlord evictions in retaliation for tenant complaints about material violations by the landlord of state or local law, residential covenants, or the lease. The tenant has the burden to assert the defense and to prove it by a preponderance of the evidence.
