Background

In their complaint, dated August 30, 2018, the plaintiffs seek $1,000 for the full amount of their security deposit emanating from a rental arrangement with the defendants, along with $400 for payments of $200 to each Ms. Shipman's father and brother for helping the plaintiffs move out of the premises. The hearing was held on November 13, 2018.

Plaintiff, Justin Fazio, was not present for the hearing. Plaintiff, Jessica Shipman, testified for the plaintiffs, introducing several pictures representing the condition of the rental property when the plaintiffs made arrangements to move into the property, as well as after they moved out. She also introduced a long thread of text messages between the parties, an application for the rental, and a letter from the defendants' attorney. All of the exhibits were received.
