Thomas McCarthy appeals from a judgment of the Small Claims Court in favor of
Orry Fischer, who was a tenant of Mr. McCarthy’s and sued for return of his security deposit
and other damages arising out of the rental. Mr. McCarthy counterclaimed for rent for the
remainder of the lease period, as the tenancy terminated prior to the end of the contract
period. The Small Claims Court entered judgment in favor of Mr. Fischer for double the
amount of the unreturned security deposit plus the value of a space heater, and entered
judgment for Mr. Fischer on the counterclaim. Mr. McCarthy appeals from this judgment.
