923 chars363 Mass. 184 (1973), a summary process action was brought against tenants who had been withholding rent. Because the tenants had not given written notice of defects to the landlord as required by rent withholding procedures under G. L. c. 239, § 8A, as appearing in St. 1967, c. 420, § 1, they could not resist eviction. However, the court held that the landlord’s breach of an implied warranty of habitability afforded the tenants an affirmative defense to the landlord’s claim for rents withheld. “The tenants’ claim for damages based on this breach by the landlord should be limited to the period of time that each apartment remained uninhabitable after the landlord had notice of the defects. The measure of damages would be the difference between the value of each apartment as warranted and the rental value of each apartment in its defective condition.” Boston Housing Authy. v. Hemingway, 363 Mass. at 203. See Id.
