More details to this question:
I lived in NYCHA and the housing development refused to do repairs in my apartment. I withheld rent for the time they would not do the repairs. Subsequently, following months of back and forth visits to court, I decided to leave on my own without them evicting me. My question is, can they sue me for the unpaid rent since I have long sinced moved out?
