The attorneys make closing arguments. No damages are awarded for the three days he was late moving out, since those damages were not requested by the plaintiff. Since the parties agree that the house needed painting, the floors needed upgrading, and the house was dirty when defendant moved in, no damages will be awarded for those items. Furthermore, the plaintiff presented insufficient evidence of the repair cost of those items to support an award of damages. This concludes this case.
Court is now in recess.
