The first thing a judge is going to tell you is that the obligation to pay rent is sacrosanct. You never get to stop paying rent because the landlord is being a ######. The landlord may get chastised for being a slumlord or failing to live up to its obligation under the lease, but a tenant is (very rarely) justified in not paying rent.
