On petition for rehearing, the tenant faults our analysis in several respects. First, she claims she “had not withdrawn her defenses relating to the condition of the premises but, rather, had withdrawn only her counterclaim based upon housing code violations.” Specifically, she points to her Brown defense, her recoupment defense based on Javins, and her retaliatory eviction defense. Apparently, she believes these defenses survived the praecipe for purposes of the protective order, if not the notice case. We disagree.
