In February, 1984, after the defendants had failed to perform the agreed repairs, the parties entered into a new agreement by which the plaintiffs were to perform much of the repair work using materials supplied by the defendants. These repairs would not include electrical work. The plaintiffs performed such repairs as they were able through June, 1984. The defendants failed, however, to supply necessary materials and skilled labor. By August, 1984, the relationship between the parties had broken down,2 and the defendants served the plaintiffs a notice to quit possession because of nonpayment of rent. A summary process trial in November, 1984, resulted in judgment being rendered for the plaintiffs; the defendants in the present case were found not to be entitled to collect rent because of the substandard condition of the premises. During the entire period of the plaintiffs’ occupancy,3 from November, 1983, through February, 1985, the leased premises was in substantial violation of Stamford’s health and safety code, lacked a certificate of apartment occupancy, and was not an apartment that the defendants were legally entitled to rent. The condition of the apartment was not improved significantly after August, 1984.
