As another example, the court found that the Dempseys agreed to be out of the house by
October 5 (Finding 13), while also finding that they “continued to come to Plaintiffs house to,
among other things, retrieve belongings, do laundry, and clean the house.” (Finding 17). Again,
however, the findings are not contradictory. The Dempseys were out of the house by October 5, in
the sense that they were living and sleeping elsewhere. However, they continued going to Mr.
Riley’s house because of an apparent understanding among all the parties that it would take them
foes: additional time to move all their belongings out and to complete the cleaning. The Small Claims
€.. 2 Court did not make detailed findings about that understanding, but the court resolved this issue by
concluding that Mr. Riley had failed to prove a basis for collecting rent beyond October 4. eso
