Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

retalitory eviction

i recently won a U.D. Case as a pro per defendant, ordered plaintiff breached warrenty of habitibility, and reasonable rental value was reduced 50% with the defect. Since i was current with my rent but had the defect for 10 months,(yes i informed landlord about it 10 months ago) i want to sue for retroactive rent abatement for those 10 months i lived with the defect. I sent a demand letter, and i am ready to file small claims. Is this a justifiable small claims case? Am i entitled to that retroactive rent?

Re: retalitory eviction

Good work. Go back to small claims, and ask for your retroactive rent per the abatement.
