847 charsAppellants’ main argument, advanced in their brief, is that the Housing Regulations have abrogated the common law relation between landlord and tenant and have created a contractual duty on the landlord to comply with the Regulations. From this premise appellants argue that if the landlord fails to comply, the tenant, in an action for possession for nonpayment of rent, may use such failure as “an equitable defense or claim by way of recoupment or set-off in an amount equal to the rent claim” under Rule 4(c) of the Landlord and Tenant Branch of the trial court. This rule limits the landlord’s basis for recovery of possession where the consideration for the rent has failed wholly or in part because of the landlord’s breach of an express or implied lease obligation, and modifies the common law rule of independent covenants in the lease. 2
