After informing deVille about the bites and the bedbugs on February 9th, Mrs. Kolb and her daughter never stayed at the apartment again. The Kolbs fully vacated the unit near the end of February 2009 and demanded that deVille reimburse them for various damages, including the rent that they had paid during their tenancy and their security deposit. DeVille rejected these demands, and the Kolbs initiated a small claims court action in the Small Claims Court Division of the Cole County Circuit Court. In response to this small claims court petition, deVille filed its counterclaim against the Kolbs for unpaid rent and other damages. In its counterclaim, deVille alleged that the Kolbs had failed to properly terminate their lease agreement, which expired on February 28, 2009, and therefore owed rent for the month of March 2009. DeVille further claimed that the Kolbs breached the lease agreement by not returning the property in a good and clean condition and by failing to pay for water service to the unit.
