Set-off by the lessee

To the extent that payment of the rent to the lessor is effective in relation to the acquirer under section 566c, the lessee may set off against the claim to rent of the acquirer a claim to which they are entitled against the lessor. Set-off is excluded if the lessee acquires the counterclaim after obtaining knowledge of the devolution of ownership, or if the counterclaim becomes due only after the lessee obtains knowledge and after the rent falls due.
