Camping Range Stoves

My landlord is threatening to evict me because I'm 1 3/4 months behind on rent. I haven't paid my rent because the range (kitchen was furnished by landlord) hasn't worked since I moved in, causing me to buy a camping stove just to be able to cook. I checked the fuses and determined the range itself is the problem. All of my complaints about this, both in voicemail and in person, have been ignored. Am I within my rights to refuse him rent since he's refused me maintenance?
