nonpayment of rent or in which there is joined a claim for recovery of rent in arrears, the
defendant may assert an equitable defense of recoupment or set-off or a counterclaim for a
money judgment based on the payment of rent or on expenditures claimed as credits against rent
or for equitable relief related to the premises. No other counterclaims, whether based on personal
