Description
Plaintiff (the landlord) sued defendant (the tenant) for unpaid rent for the period from June 1, 1977 (the date the tenant abandoned the repmsies), to August 1, 1978 (the end of the term of the lease), and for its attorneys fees and costs. The tenant defended on the landlords failure to mitigate damages. After a trial to the court, it found in favor of the landlord but also found that it had failed to mitigate its damages. Thus, it entered judgment for the landlord for two months rent only (at $545 per month) plus attorneys fees and costs ($2,438.60). The tenant appeals both portions of the judgment. The landlord cross-appeals, claiming error (1) in the courts finding that the landlord had failed to mitigate and (2) in the courts not awarding as damages the unpaid rent for the balance of the lease period. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
