Iri March 1995, landlord sent tenant notice to quit the property. Landlord filed an unlawful detainer action in May. Tenant defended, claiming the property violated the covenant of habitability. Tenant sought a 70 percent rent abatement, retroactive to 1984. After an August trial of the unlawful detainer action to a jury, the jury returned a special verdict in tenant’s favor, finding that between October 1,1994 and April 30,1995, the premises were not fit for their intended purpose or in reasonable repair and that landlord’s notice to quit was not unrelated to tenant’s complaints about the property.
