The landlord in his brief claims that the case presents a “novel issue” of the application of a statute of limitations to regulation 61-03. Although the board at one point concerned itself with the proper statute of limitations and approved the determination of the hearing examiner, adopting the opinion of the board’s general counsel, that the statute of limitations applicable to a tenant’s abatement claims is six years, the landlord argues only that the board exceeded its authority by crediting the tenant with abatements for a period preceding the time of rental nonpayment. He does not argue that the board’s action otherwise is limited by an applicable statute of limitations. We, therefore, intimate no opinion as to the time beyond which abatements may not be claimed.
