What happened

Landlord sued for arrears of rent and costs of repairs to the rental property. The total claim was $30,053.00, but the landlord waived any amount over $25,000 to fit within the Small Claims Court limit. Tenant Adler did not dispute the amount but proposed payment terms. Tenant Yanovski denied liability despite being a signatory on the lease.

The ruling

The court granted judgment in favor of the landlord for $25,000.00 against both tenants jointly and severally. Pre-judgment interest was awarded from November 16, 2016, to May 10, 2019, and post-judgment interest from May 10, 2019, until payment. Costs of $4,500.00 were awarded to the landlord.
