Following a trial on November 8 and 9, 2006, the court rendered an oral decision in favor of the plaintiff, concluding that the defendant “did violate the lease” and “had no legal grounds for leaving the premises or vacating the premises.” Finding the defendant responsible for the entire term of the lease, the court stated, “I find [that] the testimony of [the defendant] was overcooked, overdone. I’m unable to agree with her that the premises were in the condition that she says they were in . . . .” The court ordered the defendant to pay damages of $950 per month, crediting her with three months rent paid, for a total of $8550. While issuing its ruling, the court did not address the applicability of the Bridgeport housing code or the question of mitigation of damages. The defendant then filed this appeal.
