The tenant’s interrogatory 7 asked in part: “[s]ince the inception of [her] tenancy, have you received any oral or written complaints from [the tenant] regarding conditions in [her] apartment?” Interrogatories 9 and 10 sought to discover the landlord’s responses to these complaints. These questions clearly related to the retaliatory eviction “defense of the party” seeking discovery, and thus were “relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action.” Super.Ct.Civ.R. 26(b)(1); see D.C. Code § 45-1562(b)(l) (1981), recodified at D.C.Code § 45-2552(b)(l) (1981, Replacement Vol. 1986).
