Landlord also asserts in his first point that the jury’s verdict for his breach of contract claim was against the weight of the evidence because it provided inadequate damages. Landlord contends that the jury’s verdict in the amount of $2,500 was not supported by the evidence because it was undisputed that tenant at least owed $3,190 for May’s regular rent. Landlord contends that even if the jury did not find tenant to be a holdover for the month of May, and therefore, did not owe $6,380 in double rent, tenant still owed $3,190 for May. Landlord argues that the verdict of $2,500 could not represent damages for rent, but only damages to the premises. It appears that landlord is arguing that the trial court erred in denying his motion for a new trial based upon inadequate damages.
