Tiller alleged that in connection with her leasing premises from the Baumgartners she deposited the sum by way of a security deposit and that the fund was to be returned to her at the termination of her lease if she did not violate its terms; that she did not violate the lease terms but was constructively evicted from the premises by the Baumgartners; that she was entitled to a return of the $57 but that the Baumgart-ners had wrongfully and unlawfully refused to return the deposit and had intentionally and maliciously converted the same. She sought to recover the $57 as actual damages and also sought punitive damages for alleged conversion.
