This dilemma is avoided by recognizing that the modern lease is a bilateral
        contract so that the tenant’s obligation for rent is dependent upon the
        landlord’s performance of his responsibilities, among them, his implied
        warranty of habitability. Breach of this duty justifies retention of
        possession by the tenant and withholding of rent until habitability has been
        restored. Id. at 77.
