Well, here's what happened. The judge rejected their warranty of habitability claim and said I did a commendable job of fixing the heating problem. He also rejected their request for treble damages.

But said that they didn't owe December's rent because I terminated their lease (effective at the end of December). Since I used a notice to quit from the eviction law firm that I used, I contacted them. The lawyer who I talked to (one of the partners) said that the small claims court judge was wrong. We will be filing an appeal.

BUll&^%$# No Judge would state you did a " commendable job of fixing the heating problem".

You're wrong. Those were the judge's exact words. I had invoices and expert witnesses at trial. I'll let you all know how the appeal works out.

You said trial was next week, not later the same week. You could not wait to make up an answer, thats why you posted just five days later. You had to show how great you are! So sad, so sad!
