Landlord Gets Fees in Nonprimary Residence Case

February 1, 1993

LVT Number: 6680

Landlord sued to evict tenant for nonprimary residence. The trial court ruled for landlord and awarded landlord attorney's fees. Tenant appealed, objecting to the amount of fees awarded. The appeals court dismissed tenant's appeal. The amount awarded was reasonable, given the nature and extent of the services rendered and the results. And, tenant hadn't challenged landlord's proof of legal fees at a hearing before the trial court.
