WITHOLDING OF RENT
A tenant's obligation to pay rent is an independent obligation absent a set-off clause in the lease. Green 440 Ninth LLC v. Duane Reade, NY County Clerk's No. 570308/04, Supreme Court of New York, Appellate Term, First Department, Dec. 1, 2005.

A pipe burst in the portion of the premises covered by the main lease, and the tenant began to withhold rent. After other proceedings initiated by the tenant, the landlord commenced a nonpayment proceeding, and the tenant asserted that it was entitled to damages because it was the landlord's negligence that caused the pipe to burst.
