[¶ 4] The Lyles paid the $900 security deposit and then, with the exception of $300 withheld by the Lyles to cover certain costs, they paid rent through May 2009. Soon after making the May payment, they were told that Mangar was renting the home in violation of the terms of her mortgage, which they mistakenly believed entitled them to cease paying rent. They informed Mangar orally that they were going to move out and stop paying rent, and they asked Mangar to return their security deposit. The Lyles, however, continued to live in the house. Mangar did not return the security deposit, and she eventually commenced a forcible entry and detainer action against the Lyles. The Lyles stayed in the house until at least September 25, 2009, when the forcible entry and detainer action was dismissed with Mangar’s consent.
