"There shall be no recovery of possession under this
     chapter if the amount found by the court to be due the
     landlord equals or is less than the amount found to be due
     the tenant or occupant by reason of any counterclaim or
     defense under this section. If the amount found to be due
     the landlord exceeds the amount found to be due the tenant
     or occupant, there shall be no recovery of possession if
     the tenant or occupant, within one week after having
     received written notice from the court of the balance due,
     pays to the clerk the balance due the landlord, together
     with interest and costs of suit, less any credit due the
     tenant or occupant for funds already paid by him to the
     clerk under this section. In such event, no judgment shall
     enter until after the expiration of the time for such
     payment and the tenant has failed to make such payment."
