The defendant, Jean C. McCall Josephson, appeals from a judgment of the Superior Court (Cumberland County) denying her appeal from an order of the District Court, Portland, issuing a writ of possession upon the plaintiffs’ complaint for forcible entry and detainer, 14 M.R.S.A. § 6001 (Supp.1983-1984). The defendant raises two issues for our review. First, the defendant contends the District Court erroneously determined that her written lease was terminated by reason of her nonpayment of rent. Second, the defendant argues the District Court exceeded its authority in a summary forcible entry and detainer action by entering findings of fact and conclusions of law pertaining to the plaintiffs’ lack of responsibility for the damaged condition of the premises. Agreeing with the first contention, we reverse the judgment.
