Bills Not Itemized

July 31, 1999

LVT Number: 13426

Landlord sued to evict tenant for nonpayment of rent. Tenant claimed rent overcharge. Landlord said it had made apartment improvements that permitted a 1/40th rent increase. The court ruled for tenant. Landlord's proof of the cost of the improvements wasn't sufficient. Landlord's bills didn't break down the costs enough for the court to tell if the equipment installed or the work done was an upgrade or an improvement.
