related to the following series of moves that a landlord and tenant made in
a conflict that unfolded between them:
Move 1: The tenant left a voice message for his landlord that the heating
system is not working in half of the house.
Move 2: The landlord ignored the complaint
Move 3: As a protest, the tenant only paid half of his rent for two months.
Move 4: The landlord sent an eviction notice to the tenant
Move 6: The tenant hired a lawyer and contacted the court for a hearing date.
Move 7: The landlord left the tenant a note saying that a repairman was
scheduled to look at the heater in two days.
Move 8: The tenant cancelled his hearing date and let the landlord know
about the cancellation
-What move might the tenant have made if he had decided to offer a compensation response rather than a reciprocity response right after the tenant sent the eviction notice? Give an example of a compensation move that would replace Move #6 in the sequence above.
