A lessee, having been sued for rent arrears, contested the claim by asserting a right of retention over the leased property due to unpaid expenditures made for necessary repairs, which the lessor was obligated to perform but failed to execute, forcing the lessee to undertake them to maintain habitability; the court rejected this defense, reasoning that while a lessor is indeed responsible for major repairs, a lessee's unilateral decision to undertake such necessary repairs does not automatically grant them a right of retention over the property against the lessor's claim for rent, as the right of retention is typically reserved for expenses incurred for improvements that enhance the value of the property or for retention based on specific contractual provisions or established legal grounds not present in this assertion regarding overdue rent.
