What were the details of the dispute?

The dispute between the parties began in mid-August 2017 when a group of tenants in a rental property owned by the defendant sent a letter to the defendant outlining their complaints about the conditions of the property. The tenants alleged that the property was in a state of disrepair, with mold, crumbling walls, and broken appliances. They also accused the defendant of failing to make repairs in a timely manner and not providing adequate notice of rent increases.

The defendant denied the tenants’ claims and accused them of damaging the property. In response, the tenants filed a lawsuit in state court seeking an injunction requiring the defendant to make repairs and damages for the pain and suffering caused by the poor conditions.

The case was eventually sent to arbitration, where the arbitrator determined that the defendant was responsible for the repairs and ordered them to pay damages to the tenants. The defendant appealed the decision, but it was upheld by the appellate court. The dispute was ultimately settled out of court for an undisclosed sum.
