What happened

Tenant claims landlord breached lease by not providing promised residential units, not leasing to affluent families and complementary businesses, and not completing renovations. Tenant seeks damages for construction costs, lost profits, and return of payments. Landlord counterclaims for increased rent based on alleged oral agreement.

The ruling

The court awarded the tenant $17,844 in damages, consisting of $5,844 for floor installation costs and $12,000 for return of payments made under an unenforceable oral agreement. The tenant's other claims for damages were dismissed due to lack of evidence. The landlord's counterclaim for increased rent was dismissed as unenforceable.
