presented testimony from witnesses Gregory Brown, Francine Capizzi, Alice Anderson, John
Bodnar, Dana Waters, and from Kevin Dempsey’s wife Cynthia Bailey-Dempsey. The main issues
ze in dispute concerned (1) the extent of damage caused by the Dempseys’ pets, and whether the
damages exceeded “normal wear. and tear,” (2) the terms of the lease, including the timing and
circumstances of the termination, and (3) whether Mr. Riley had wilfully and wrongfully withheld
the security deposit beyond the 14 days provided by statute.
