Estoppel?

Is there a principle for the following situation?

The defendant is a tenant and he is holding over the property since the landlord terminated the tenancy agreement because the tenant failed to pay rent since July 2014.

But ever since the suit started, the defendant claimed to be a creditor and he refuses to leave because the landlord borrowed money from him and the property is claimed to be a security to the loan.

However, in court the defendant used a law that said "he is a tenant and the landlord cannot chase him out unless through civil proceeding".

So, my question is, is there anyway to stop defendant from doing that? since he claims to be a creditor but he's using the law in favour of tenant as a "shield"
