The jury returned a verdict for landlord on his claim, awarding $2,500 in damages. The jury found for tenant on its counterclaim, awarding $500 in damages. The trial court overruled landlords post-trial motions, including his motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, and entered judgments in accordance with the verdicts.
