[and other cited statutes and regulations] requiring it to keep its premises in a safe and sanitary and habitable condition; and that the failure of [the] plaintiff herein ... to lease and maintain the premises *205 in such condition is a breach of its implied warrantee [sic] of habitability to defendant and that defendant's obligation to pay rent is dependent upon plaintiff's performance of its Warrantee [sic] of Inhabitability and providing defendant with a home according to Code Standards, State and Federal Laws."
