At trial, the tenant offered to show that the landlord had demanded possession of the premises in retaliation against his organization of and membership in a tenant's association, as well as in retaliation against previous complaints of housing code violations made to the landlord and governmental authorities. He proffered that he received a notice to quit the day after he became president of the tenant's association. More particularly, the tenant offered to show that if he had not become active in the tenant's association, in accordance with the established policy of the landlord he would have become a month-to-month tenant at the expiration of the one-year term; and that this established policy of the landlord was in consonance with the express *316 terms of the lease.[1] Lastly, the tenant proffered that six suits for possession were instituted by the landlord to oust other members of the tenant's association.
