John 0. Leonforte, J.
The landlord instituted these proceedings to recover rent for the two-month period commencing November 24, 1970 and ending December 23, 1970, for a total rent of $500 allegedly due and owing. The tenant asserted defenses of partial constructive eviction, violation of section 755 of the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law, and a general denial.
At the trial, tenant proceeded solely on the defense of partial constructive eviction, relying on the case of East Haven Assoc. v. Gurian (64 Misc 2d 276). It is conceded that tenant is still in possession.
