672 charsThe only meaningful weapon a tenant has against a landlord for refusing to maintain the premises in a habitable condition is to withhold rent. If a tenant fears that withholding rent could cause lease termination automatically, a tenant would be deterred from asserting a breach of the warranty of habitability. (Ruppert House Co. v Altmann, 127 Misc 2d 115 [Civ Ct, NY County 1985, Saxe, J.].) If such a lease provision were upheld as valid, a tenant would be deterred from lawfully withholding rent for a breach of warranty of habitability because the risk in doing otherwise would be too great: an eviction and loss of all stock interest in the cooperative corporation.
