597 chars. Breach of the warranty of habitability is a defense to a claim for rent; it is not cognizable as a defense to a holdover proceeding, and as a counterclaim it is severable (City of New York v Candelario, 223 AD2d 617 [2d Dept 1996]). In addition it is uncontested that the premises is located in an illegal multiple dwelling; therefore neither rent nor use and occupancy may be collected. (Multiple Dwelling Law § 302 [1] [b]; § 325 [2].) Petitioner did not cross-move for relief on these grounds, and the court will not at this juncture sua sponte strike this defense and sever the counterclaim.
