We restate the issues as follows:
1. Did the District Court err in finding that the landlord
wrongfully withheld a portion of the tenants' security deposit?
2. Did the District Court err in determining there was an
illegal provision in the rental agreement and awarding damages?
3. Did the District Court err in awarding attorney fees to
the tenants?
4. IS the landlord entitled to the return of his appeal
bond?
Facts
The tenants rented a residential unit from the landlord. The
lease was a month-to-month agreement and required a $300 security
deposit. Prior to the tenants moving in, the landlord completed a
condition of premises statement which all three of the tenants
signed. On March 15, 1991, the tenants gave an oral 30-day notice
to terminate on April 15, 1991. Although the notice was not in
writing as required by the lease, the landlord accepted it.
