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.
