Verdict for Plaintiff (landlord)
The case was set for trial at a show cause hearing. The case was factually difficult in large part because the landlord had drafted and forwarded to the tenant via email a lease addendum the terms of which were unfavorable later when the landlord wanted to evict the tenant. After a two day bench trial a judgment was entered against the tenant and the tenant was evicted. The tenant was awarded a modest amount on his counterclaim, but only a fraction of the damages he was asking the court to award. The landlord was very happy with the results and posted a very strong review on avvo.com.
