The plaintiffs took a number of steps in order to sell their home on-site despite the fact that Boyce had told them that they could not do so. On June 6,1984, a building official for the town of Prospect issued a “certificate of occupancy” approving the plaintiffs’ wood stove. In June, 1984, the plaintiffs moved out of their mobile *629home into a new home. In October, 1984, a prospective buyer offered to buy their mobile home on-site for $17,500. This buyer withdrew his offer when the defendant refused to permit an on-site sale. In November, 1984, the plaintiffs found a tenant ready to move into their mobile home at a rent of $375 per month with an option to purchase for $17,900. The defendant refused to accept this prospective tenant. On November 24,1984, the defendant shut off the water connection to the mobile home. On April 10,1985, a Prospect building official issued a “certificate of occupancy” approving the home for resale. Following a contested hearing, the commissioner of the department of consumer protection on April 15, 1985, issued a declaratory ruling that the resale standards in the parties’ lease violated § 21-79 (b). Subsequently, the fire marshall of Naugatuck, in the company of the Prospect fire mar-shall, found that the home’s electrical system was in sound condition and did not present a fire hazard. On October 30,1985, a Prospect building official issued a “certificate of approval” in the form of a letter that found the plaintiffs’ home to be safe and sanitary for human habitation and properly sited.
