Finally, Sawyer contends that he was leased an apartment which was not zoned for residential use, and that this, together with plaintiffs misrepresentations regarding the heat, constituted violations of G.L.c. 93A which resulted in his incurring additional utility bills and his moving expense. Sawyer testified, however, that in view of the lack of heat and other deficiencies in the apartment, he decided to move, and that his decision was not the result of the lack of proper zoning or of any misrepresentations by the owner. Moreover, the lease was a tenancy-at-will, so that defendant could have been legally required to move out on thirty days notice in any event. Accordingly, I do not find that any unfair or deceptive practices by the plaintiff were the proximate cause of any injury to the defendant.
