*34OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
Judgment reversed without costs and judgment directed to be entered in favor of plaintiff in the principal sum of $2,200.
After vacating the apartment she had rented from defendant for 13 years, plaintiff commenced this small claims action to recover her $2,200 security deposit, plus interest thereon. Defendant acknowledges that he was provided with a $2,200 security deposit, receiving $1,100 from plaintiff and $1,100 from her boyfriend, who vacated the apartment before plaintiff.
A review of the trial transcript provides no support for the implicit determination of the court below that plaintiff was not entitled to the return of the security deposit because defendant incurred at least $2,200 in expenses repairing the damage plaintiff allegedly caused to the apartment. To the extent the damages complained of were not attributable to normal wear and tear, defendant submitted no estimates or paid receipts at trial to prove the cost of his expenditures (see CCA 1804) and, therefore, he failed to prove the extent of his damages, if any. Thus, it cannot be said that the court’s conclusions could be reached under any fair interpretation of the evidence (cf. Williams v Roper, 269 AD2d 125 [2000]). In view of the foregoing, we find that substantial justice has not been done between the parties according to the rules and principles of substantive law (see CCA 1807).
