Tenant–Appellant Amanda (Nash) Alden has appealed from a small claims judgment in
favor of Landlord–Appellee Greg Richardson. Mr. Richardson filed this case seeking 1 month of
unpaid rent, 1 month loss of rent (during which he repaired the premises), damages for harm to
the premises, and attorney fees. Ms. Alden counterclaimed seeking double the amount of the
security deposit, alleging that Mr. Richardson had failed to give timely notice of withholding.
The small claims court awarded some of the damages sought by Mr. Richardson, including
attorney fees, but did not award damages for replacement of the carpet or painting. It did not
award double security deposit damages to Ms. Alden. Ms. Alden raises numerous issues on
appeal.
