In the event that a tenant refuses to quit possession of the premises, the landlord may institute unlawful detainer proceedings under the Act. In such a proceeding "the tenant or lessee may appear and answer or demur pursuant to Section 1170 of the Code of Civil Procedure and may assert by way of defense that the owner has not complied with the applicable provisions of this chapter [i.e., the Ellis Act], or statutes, ordinances, or regulations of public entities adopted to implement this chapter, as authorized by this chapter." (§ 7060.6.) Noncompliance is the only defense specifically referenced as an eviction defense in the Ellis Act.
