Damages should have been calculated with respect to charges that occurred during the one-year period prior to the date of the filing of the complaint. That period would thus cover rent overcharges which occurred after July 9, 1983. See Rita v. Carella, 394 Mass. 822, 824 (1985); G. L. c. 260, § 36. As rent was due at the beginning of each month, there appears to be an overcharge for January 1,1984, since the property was not exempt for nineteen days. The tenant is not entitled to the overcharge incurred on July 1, 1983, since it is more than a year from the date of the action. Thus, damages are to be awarded for six months.
