Computer Printout of Payment Records Allowed Into Evidence

April 1, 2000

LVT Number: 13991

Landlord sued to evict tenant for nonpayment of rent. The court ruled for landlord, and tenant appealed, arguing that the court shouldn't have allowed landlord's computer printout of rent payment records into evidence. The appeals court ruled against tenant. Landlord's printout was a business record that landlord sufficiently explained. It was properly allowed into evidence.
