The jury found landlord negligent, and awarded plaintiffs a total of $5000 in compensatory damages. With respect to the consumer fraud claim, the jury awarded plaintiffs $1200 in compensatory damages and $3600 in exemplary damages. The jury found that the value of the security deposit was $400, but declined to award any damages for willfully withholding the deposit.
