What happened

Landlord claimed $3551.92 in damages for unpaid rent, utility costs, repair costs, and lost rent from former tenants. Tenants disputed most claims and filed a counterclaim for $10,754 for various issues with the rental unit.

The ruling

The court dismissed most of the landlord's claims, finding that the tenants had paid the last month's rent deposit and removed their property. The landlord failed to prove damages beyond normal wear and tear. The tenants owe $150.14 for utilities, while the landlord owes $100 for basement cleanup help. The net result is the tenants owing $50.14 to the landlord.
