The parties stipulated that the sum of $3,600, previously deposited by the tenant with the clerk of the court, represents money due and owing to the landlord for rent, subject to partial or complete offset because of a counterclaim interposed by the tenant. The counterclaim seeks the recovery of an even larger sum, namely, $5,000, for: (1) time and lost wages for court appearances ($440); (2) money expended to make essential repairs ($452); (3) the cost of meals eaten out, inconvenience and mental anguish sustained during a period when the landlord failed to provide heat and hot water ($1,500); and (4) breach of the warranty of habitability ($2,600). (The sum of the parts is less than the $5,000 demanded.)
