Yes he can. The question is will he be successful.
There maybe a claim you could make if the disrepair of the house violated the implied warranty of habitability. That is there was no heat in the winter. The roof was leaky. or similar problems. This may entitle you to some lessening of the rent due.
If you have questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
