I have absolutely no legal knowledge to back this opinion up, but the thought of charging a landlord for loss of wages, or withholding rent because of a skunk spray seems like trying to hold them responsible for the weather being so hot and muggy the tenant is unable to sleep. Or even worse, because in the latter case there's no way the landlord could make a counterclaim that the tenants' messy trash or poor pet behavior attracted the sun to their property.
