Both parties testified about the timing and circumstances of the termination, as did additional
witnesses Francine Capizzi and Cynthia Bailey-Dempsey. The written lease expired in August of
2003, but the Dempseys continued their tenancy and paid the September rent. Earlier, in June of
2003, Mr. Riley had written the Dempseys to tell them to vacate the house by December 15, 2003.
Nevertheless, the tenancy ended in October of 2003. It was clear from all the testimony that the
Dempseys stayed in the house through October 4, and that Mr. Riley moved into the house on
October 5, but that the Dempseys left many of their belongings there until October 29, and that they
continued to clean the house until then. Mr. Riley emphasized that the Dempseys did not complete
their moving and cleaning until October 29, and he maintained that Mr. Dempsey still owed rent
from October 4 to October 29.
