Text: Landes assails the trial court's award of $15,000 to Olympus Hills to restore the premises to its prelease condition. He contends that Olympus Hills did not adduce any evidence as to the cost of restoration. We find no error. Olympus Hills' general manager, Richard Skankey, testified that he estimated it would cost $175,000 to put the building back in the condition it was in when Bagel Nosh took possession. Evidence was also presented that the premises were left in a damaged condition when Bagel Nosh vacated. The heating, air conditioning, electrical, and plumbing fixtures were damaged so as to increase the cost of restoring the premises. Landes put on no evidence as to the cost of restoration. The trial court's award of $15,000 for restoration expenses is therefore supported by the evidence. We have considered other assignments of error raised by Landes and find them to be without merit. The judgment is affirmed, and the case is remanded to the trial court to fix a reasonable attorney fee, which is awarded to Olympus Hills for defending this appeal. HALL, C.J., and STEWART, DURHAM and ZIMMERMAN, JJ., concur.
