The Plaintiffs, landlords, brought a motion for summary judgment against the Defendant tenant, seeking damages for unpaid rent, utilities, and a settlement fee paid to a prospective purchaser due to the tenant's refusal to vacate the property.
The Defendant's counsel had withdrawn, and she did not appear at the motion.
The court found no genuine issue requiring trial, granted judgment to the Plaintiffs for $115,112.22, and dismissed the Defendant's counterclaim for $1,000,000.00 due to lack of evidence.
Costs were awarded to the Plaintiffs.
