[¶9] Jackson asserts that the District Court "erred in finding [Sherwood]'s *1263witnesses credible" and that the evidence at the FED hearing failed to establish cause for an eviction. "We defer to the trial court's determination of witnesses' credibility and its resolution of conflicts in testimony." Gordon v. Cheskin , 2013 ME 113, ¶ 12, 82 A.3d 1221. Additionally, because Jackson did not file a motion for findings of fact pursuant to M.R. Civ. P. 52(b), "we will infer that the trial court made any factual inferences needed to support its ultimate conclusion." Pelletier v. Pelletier , 2012 ME 15, ¶ 20, 36 A.3d 903. The record reflects that Sherwood acted properly under the terms of the lease and the FED statutes, see generally 14 M.R.S. §§ 6001 - 6016 (2017), to terminate the lease, and that the District Court's findings, quoted above, are supported by the record evidence.
