Defendant–Appellant Cindy Cook has appealed from a small claims judgment in favor of
her former tenant, Plaintiff–Appellee Marlee Brunton. The small claims court awarded Ms.
Brunton compensatory damages in the amount of the withheld security deposit and rejected Ms.
Cook’s counterclaim. Ms. Brunton did not cross-appeal. On appeal, Ms. Cook asserts that
certain findings were “incorrect” and the court failed to award damages for propane use,
insufficient notice of termination of the tenancy, for failure to maintain the property properly,
and for misrepresentations that induced her to enter into the relationship with Ms. Brunton and
her partner in the first place. She does not challenge the damages assessed against her in relation
to the withheld security deposit.
