According to Jessica, the plaintiffs signed a one-year lease agreement with the defendants, to begin on April 1, 2018. As part of the agreement, the plaintiffs paid a $1,000 security deposit, along with the first and last month's rent prior to the{**63 Misc 3d at 907} start of the lease. The premises to be rented was a house located on Dan Main Road, in Norwich, which had belonged to Brian's mother, who had recently passed away. As explained by Jessica, the plaintiffs made arrangements with the defendants to move into the premises a few days prior to the start of the lease. Part of the arrangements were premised upon the plaintiffs helping to move furniture belonging to Brian's mother into the basement, which would be subsequently moved by a moving company. Ultimately, the plaintiffs moved into the premises three to five days prior to the April 1 start date, but had been involved in moving items from the premises approximately one week prior thereto, at which time Jessica documented the condition of the premises through several photographs she had taken of the premises. (Plaintiffs' exhibit 1.) Based upon the photographs, there was much that needed to be moved, thrown out, and otherwise done for the plaintiffs to be able to effectively move into the home.
